About The Role

GEOTEK manufactures engineered fiberglass composite products for utility and infrastructure markets, including crossarms, light poles, fencing and trench drain systems, at our plants in Minnesota, Georgia and Utah. We’ve been doing it for over 30 years and we’re growing.

Employee Experience Specialist

We’re hiring an Employee Experience Specialist to be the HR contact for team members at our Stewartville plant. You’ll answer questions on pay, benefits, leave and attendance, work through concerns, run onboarding, and keep records accurate. When an issue needs specialized support, you’ll connect team members with Payroll, Benefits and Leave, Safety or HR Business Partners and follow it through to resolution.

This role is 100% onsite. The plant runs multiple shifts, and you’ll spend time on the floor with team members on each of them. Your schedule will vary based on shift needs, and you’ll plan your work week or month around where you need to be.

Ideally you’ve worked in HR in a manufacturing or hourly environment, you’re comfortable on a production floor, and you know when an issue needs to be escalated. Success means concerns are resolved quickly and fairly, new hires are set up on day one and stay past 90 days, and team members see you as a trusted resource.

What You’ll Do

• Serve as the named first point of contact for team members at your site, on the floor and through walk‑ins, phone, text and email
• Answer questions on pay, benefits, leave, schedules, attendance and policies. Resolve what you can, route the rest to Payroll, Benefits and Leave, Safety or HR Business Partners, and follow through until it’s closed
• Document and resolve team member concerns and 
escalate to HR Business Partners when manager, performance or investigation issues are involved
• Lead onboarding from orientation through the first 90 days, including 30‑, 60‑ and 90‑day check‑ins
• Run orientation logistics, take badge photos, set up access, and distribute PPE and onboarding materials
• Keep personnel records accurate and enter employment changes in our HR systems
• Support team members in KPay with logins, paystubs and timecard corrections
• Process offboarding and conduct stay and exit interviews, sharing themes with HR leadership
• Partner with HR Business Partners, Safety and our carrier on workers’ comp claims from report through return to work
• Coordinate engagement activities, recognition and site communications, and report monthly on trends in concerns, turnover and retention risk

What We’re Looking For

• Associate’s or bachelor’s degree in HR, business or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience
• 2–4 years of HR experience, ideally in manufacturing or another hourly environment
• Working knowledge of FMLA, ADA, FLSA and workers’ compensation
• Comfortable on a production floor and building trust with team members at every level
• Strong listening and de‑escalation skills, with good judgment on when to 
escalate
• Organized, detail‑oriented and discreet with confidential information
• Strong computer skills, including HRIS and Microsoft Office
• Preferred: bilingual in Spanish or Somali
• Preferred: aPHR or SHRM‑CP, or in progress

Physical Work Conditions

This role is 100% onsite at our Stewartville plant, with time split between the HR office and the production floor. The schedule varies based on shift needs and includes time on every shift. While working on the floor, there will be work around moving machinery, noise, dust, fumes and varying temperatures, and you must be able to wear required PPE. Office work requires sitting at a desk, using a computer and phone. Occasional lifting of up to 20 pounds.

The compensation range for this position is $66,926 – $89,235. Final offers may vary based on several factors, including experience, skills, and qualifications. The posted range represents the expected earning potential for this position within the current organizational budget and market conditions.
