Job description

About The Role

We’re growing our People, Talent & Culture team and adding a Human Resources Business Partner to support leaders across the company. This role is not about handling every employee issue yourself. It’s about equipping managers to lead better: bringing HR in earlier, documenting correctly, resolving issues faster and working within a clear, consistent people-management system. You’ll spend real time in our branches and shops, because that’s where the work happens.

What You’ll Do

• Serve as the primary HR advisor to leaders across functions, branches and entities on people decisions, risk and team performance
• Review terminations and corrective actions before they happen, for consistency, documentation, protected activity, leave and accommodation, and legal risk
• Guide employee relations matters from intake through resolution, partnering with ER and HR Operations on investigations
• Coach managers through difficult conversations and decisions instead of taking those conversations over
• Lead a regular people-review cadence with business leaders covering headcount, turnover, new hires, ER activity and decisions needed
• Use people data, such as turnover by branch, role, manager and tenure, time-to-fill and retention, to spot risk and drive manager action
• Partner with Talent Acquisition on technician hiring and retention, including new-hire check-ins
• Partner with Learning & Development to set manager training priorities
• Visit branches and shops regularly to understand the work firsthand
• Help design and scale an HRBP model built for a growing, multi-entity organization

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business or a related field, or equivalent experience
• 5+ years of progressive HR experience, including at least 3 years in an HRBP or generalist role advising managers
• Strong employee relations and investigations experience, with sound judgment on employment law and risk
• Experience supporting field, service, skilled-trades or multi-location workforces
• Comfort using HR data to make a case and to hold managers accountable to it
• Credibility with frontline employees and senior leaders alike
• Ability to travel regularly to branch locations

Preferred

• SHRM-CP/SHRM-SCP or PHR/SPHR
• Experience with Paycom
• Background in material handling, equipment dealership, industrial or manufacturing environments

Physical Requirements & Work Environment

• Travel up to 20%, including driving to and between multiple Shoppa’s branch and shop locations
• Valid driver’s license required
• Work is performed primarily in an office setting, with regular time in shop, warehouse and yard environments during branch visits
• Prolonged periods of sitting and computer work
• Standing and walking in shop, warehouse and yard areas, including on uneven surfaces
• Occasionally lifting and carrying up to 25 pounds, such as files, training materials and equipment
• In shop and field areas, exposure to moderate-to-loud noise, outdoor temperatures and weather, and moving equipment, including forklifts
• Wearing required personal protective equipment (PPE) and following all safety rules in shop and field areas
