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

Operating within a highly regulated, operationally focused environment, this well-established business has built an exceptional reputation within its sector and benefits from the backing of a larger international group. The organisation combines the stability and security of a long-standing Scottish employer with the opportunities and investment associated with a growing market leader.

This opportunity has arisen due to the departure of a long-serving HR professional, creating the chance for an experienced people leader to step into a highly visible and influential role within the business.

Description

Reporting into the senior leadership team, you will take responsibility for delivering the full HR agenda across the organisation. This is a hands-on generalist role, suited to an individual who enjoys partnering closely with operational leaders, managing complex employee relations matters and driving best practice across the employee lifecycle.

Alongside leading all HR activities, you will oversee payroll operations, managing a small but highly effective HR and Payroll team and ensuring the smooth delivery of a fortnightly payroll process.

The role offers broad exposure across employee relations, recruitment, compliance, policy development, organisational support and leadership coaching, making it an outstanding opportunity for a commercially minded HR professional seeking variety and influence.

Key Responsibilities

• 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.

Profile

A successful HR Manager should have:

• Strong HR generalist experience.
• Proven employee relations expertise.
• Experience supporting operational or field-based workforces.
• Recruitment and talent acquisition experience.
• Sage Payroll experience.
• The ability to oversee payroll and provide operational support when needed.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
• CIPD qualification or equivalent experience.
• Experience within infrastructure, construction, utilities, transport, engineering, logistics or other operationally focused sectors would be highly advantageous.

Job Offer

• Join a market-leading organisation with an excellent reputation.
• Stable business with strong employee tenure and a proven track record of success.
• Backed by a larger international group providing long-term security and investment.
• Broad, varied and highly visible role.
• Opportunity to influence business decisions and shape people strategy.
• Supportive senior leadership team and strong organisational culture.
• Competitive Salary, dependent on the level of experience + Benefits
