• Support annual open enrollment and plan renewals in partnership with brokers and carriers.

• Serve as the first point of contact for employee benefits questions and resolve issues with carriers and vendors.
• Coordinate hiring activity: post openings, schedule interviews, manage candidate communication, and track pipeline status.
• Support job description development and maintain the company's job description library.
• Run onboarding end to end, including offer letters, background checks, I-9 and E-Verify, equipment and system access, and first-week orientation.
• Manage offboarding, including exit paperwork, final pay coordination, asset return, and exit interview scheduling.

Compliance & Records

• Maintain personnel files and HR documentation in line with federal, New Jersey, and New York requirements.
• Track required licenses, certifications, and training for field and technical staff, and flag upcoming expirations.
• Support unemployment claims, workers' compensation reporting, and leave-of-absence administration.
• Help maintain the employee handbook and HR policies, and document processes as they change.

Administration

• Support HR leadership with scheduling, meeting materials, vendor coordination, and invoice processing.
• Maintain HR forms, templates, and internal documentation so the team works from one current source.
• Coordinate employee events, service recognition, and internal communications.
