Job description

HR Generalist (Human Resources) - Dublin 11 (Permanent, Full-Time)

Elite Talent Hub is a specialist in permanent staffing solutions for clients both nationally and internationally.

On behalf of our client, we are seeking an enthusiastic HR Generalist to join the Human Resources team at their Dublin head office in Finglas, Dublin 11. Our client is an Irish-owned communications installation company with over 500 employees. They deliver major telecommunications, data centre and fibre optic projects in Ireland and internationally. Their teams work on projects across Europe, the Middle East and Australia.

Why This Role Is Exciting:

This is a rare chance to grow your HR career on an international stage. Our client's teams build the digital infrastructure behind some of the world's biggest technology companies. Every project depends on the right people being onboarded, compliant and supported. That is where you come in.

You will gain broad, hands-on experience across the full HR spectrum. You will also see first-hand how HR works in a multi-country business. That experience will set your CV apart for years to come.

Main Purpose of Role:

Reporting to the HR Manager, you will work closely with the HR Manager and HR Officer. You will play a key part in the day-to-day running of the HR function. You will support a large, mobile workforce of skilled technicians and office staff in Ireland and abroad.

You will be a visible, approachable point of contact for employees and managers. You will take pride in getting the detail right in a busy, fast-paced, project-driven business.

Key Responsibilities:

• Coordinate recruitment end to end, from advertising and screening to interview scheduling, offers and contracts.
• Run smooth, well-organised onboarding and inductions for new starters in the office and in the field.
• Prepare and issue employment contracts, offer letters and HR documentation.
• Maintain accurate employee records on the HR system and keep personnel files up to date and compliant.
• Gather and check payroll inputs, including starters, leavers, changes and absences, ahead of each payroll run.
• Track absence and annual leave and support managers with absence management.
• Support the HR Officer and HR Manager with employee relations cases, including note-taking, documentation and follow-up.
• Track training and certification records so field teams stay qualified and compliant for site work.
• Respond to day-to-day HR queries from employees and managers quickly and professionally.
• Produce HR reports and data to support management decisions.

International Scope:

• Coordinate onboarding documentation for teams deploying to projects across Europe, the Middle East and Australia.
• Help prepare the paperwork staff need to work abroad, such as posted worker documents and right-to-work and visa information.
• Liaise with colleagues in international offices and with overseas service providers.
• Support the roll-out of consistent HR processes across international branches.
• Build hands-on knowledge of how HR operates across different countries - a genuine career accelerator.

Requirements:

• Degree in Human Resources, Business or a related discipline. CIPD (Level 5) is desirable.
• 1 to 3 years' experience in an HR Generalist, HR Administrator or HR Assistant role.
• Good working knowledge of Irish employment law and HR best practice.
• Highly organised, accurate and comfortable juggling a varied, fast-moving workload.
• Confident, friendly communicator who builds rapport with field technicians and management alike.
• Strong IT skills, including MS Office. HRIS experience is an advantage.
• Experience in engineering, construction, telecommunications or another technical environment is an advantage.
• A genuine interest in international HR is a must. Additional European languages are a bonus.

What's on Offer:

• Salary of €45,000, depending on experience.
• Full-time, permanent position with genuine job stability.
• Rare early-career exposure to international HR across Europe, the Middle East and Australia.
• Excellent learning and development alongside an experienced HR Manager and HR Officer.
• Clear career progression within a growing organisation.
• Collaborative and supportive team at the Dublin head office.

Location: Finglas, Dublin 11 - permanent, full-time, office-based.
