Reporting to the HR Manager, you will primarily support our largest mining site in Carlsbad, NM with a current workforce of over 300 people AND you will help advance various corporate initiatives across the company.

• Delivering differentiated (best-in-class) onboarding - pre-employment processes, day one experience, assist in 30-60-90 day plans, etc.
• Engaging and connecting the workforce through daily field visits, timely responses to employee questions, reward and recognition initiatives, community relations activities, etc.
• Growing people. You will assist with strategies and tactics, to include leading training classes.
• Developing, interpreting, and applying policies to ensure compliance and shape culture.

• Preparing and interpreting metrics that enable informed decision-making and value creation. This would include analysis and plans related to turnover, compensation, onboarding, morale, etc.

  • Apply HR knowledge (laws, principles, etc.) to help execute business strategies.
  • Collaborate and communicate effectively with all levels in the organization.

  • Use data to help drive continuous improvement. (Proficiency with MS Excel.)

  • Hospitality, Retail, Auto Rental, Staffing, Teaching, etc.
• Humility and a growth mindset, ready to learn (and receive direction) from others.
• While experience may be considered in lieu of a degree, a Bachelor’s degree is typically a requirement for this role. Education specific to business administration, marketing, journalism, math, accounting/finance, or economics is preferred.

Why Work for us?
