Job description

A leading infrastructure and support services organisation is seeking an experienced HR Manager to lead its people function and support a workforce of over 250 employees across multiple locations throughout Scotland.

Client Details

The organisation combines the stability and security of a long-standing Scottish employer with the opportunities and investment associated with a growing market leader.

• Lead the HR function across a multi-site operational workforce.
• Provide expert guidance on employee relations matters including disciplinary, grievance and performance management cases.
• Support managers on all people-related matters and employment legislation.
• Manage recruitment activity and workforce planning initiatives.
• Drive HR compliance, policy development and best practice.
• Coordinate training and development activities.
• Oversee payroll processes and provide support when required.
• Manage and develop a small HR and Payroll team.
• Partner with senior leaders to support business objectives and organisational growth.
