Reporting to the Group HR Director and as a member of the UK SLT, you will lead a sizeable HR team supporting a headcount of c.1,100 across multiple sites in the UK. Key to this position will be your ability to work strategically and lead change as the UK business goes through a period of positive change and transformation, ensuring that you are engaging with stakeholders and bringing them ‘on the journey’. These changes will include areas such as performance, succession planning, talent development, leadership capability and competencies, and culture. This is a broad generalist HR position with responsibility for all site HR activities. As such you will provide strategic support to the development and delivery of the HR strategy, policies, processes and procedures. Given the nature of the organisation you will manage the relationships with Trade Unions.

You will be working in a similar Engineering and Manufacturing environment as part of the senior leadership team across a large, innovative and complex organisation. With a generalist HR background, you will have led and delivered on all aspects of people strategy, managing and leading teams, and with a track record of delivering change programmes. Experience of working within both a UK and European infrastructure is desirable. With a strategic and commercial growth mind-set you will be a strong communicator who is able to build relationships with key senior stakeholders. Experience of working within a Trade Union environment and a strong knowledge of UK Employment Law is an absolute must and you will be able to evidence detailed exposure to TU negotiation.

The company does offer hybrid working and you would be expected to be in the office 3-4 days/week.

All third party and direct applications will be forwarded to Stephen Menko at Frazer Jones for consideration.
