Job description

Labor Relations / Employee Relations Manager (Field-Based) (Travel ~25%)

We’re partnering with a growing organization looking to bring on a people-first, boots-on-the-ground Employee Relations leader. This is not a sit-behind-a-desk HR role—this person will spend the majority of their time (about 75%) out in the plant and on job sites in the field, building relationships and being a true advocate for employees.

If you’re someone who naturally connects with people, earns trust quickly, and isn’t afraid to get your hands dirty in a construction or industrial environment, this could be a great fit.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Serve as the voice of the employees—a trusted, visible presence across job sites
• Act as the first point of contact for employee concerns, complaints, and workplace issues
• Conduct investigations and fact-finding related to employee relations matters
• Partner with managers to provide guidance on performance, discipline, and employee engagement
• Help create and maintain a positive, proactive workplace culture focused on engagement and trust
• Support communication between leadership and employees to resolve issues before they escalate
• Be actively involved in the workforce—daily interaction with employees is expected

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong people skills—someone approachable, relatable, and respected on the floor
• Experience handling employee relations issues (complaints, investigations, FMLA questions, etc.)
• Comfortable working in construction or industrial environments (not climate-controlled offices)
• Willingness to travel across NC and SC (~25%)
• Bilingual (Spanish/English) is a big plus

Why This Role:

This is a unique opportunity to step into a role where you’re not just “HR”—you’re a true employee advocate and culture driver, helping shape the day-to-day experience of the workforce in a very visible, impactful way.
