Job description

Smoke Guard, recognized as a Great Place to Work for four consecutive years, is looking for a passionate and driven HR Generalist who thrives in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and enjoys being deeply connected to the employee experience.

In this role, no two days will look the same. One moment you may be supporting a leader through a difficult conversation with an employee; the next, you could be walking the floor, connecting with employees, helping coordinate onboarding for a new hire, assisting with a leave of absence, supporting recruiting efforts, or partnering with operations leaders to improve team engagement and retention.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter who enjoys handling issues at the lowest possible level through communication, trust, accountability, and partnership. We are looking for someone who brings energy, professionalism, sound judgment, and a team-first mindset while helping foster a workplace where employees feel supported, valued, and challenged to grow.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys balancing employee advocacy with business partnership and who wants to make a visible impact on culture, leadership development, and operational success.

What a Day in Life Looks Like

• Walking on the production floor and connecting with employees and leaders to build trust and maintain strong relationships.
• Coaching managers through employee relations concerns, performance conversations, and leadership challenges.
• Supporting recruiting efforts by screening candidates, coordinating interviews, and helping create a positive candidate experience.
• Partnering with employees and leaders on leave administration, accommodations, and workplace concerns while ensuring compliance with federal and California employment laws.
• Assisting with union-related questions, employee concerns, and maintaining positive working relationships.
• Leading onboard efforts to ensure new employees feel welcomed, connected, and set up for success from day one.
• Conducting workplace investigations with professionalism, fairness, and confidentiality.
• Supporting employee engagement activities, recognition efforts, celebrations, and culture-building initiatives.
• Partnering with leadership to improve retention, accountability, communication, and overall team effectiveness.
• Helping maintain accurate HR records, reporting, payroll coordination, and HRIS data management.
• Jumping in where needed to support the business, employees, and team.

What We’re Looking For

• A team player who enjoys collaborating and building strong working relationships across all levels of the organization.
• Someone who is approachable, visible, and comfortable working directly with employees and operations leaders.
• Strong employee relations and conflict resolution experience with the ability to remain calm and professional in difficult situations.
• Experience supporting California leave laws, multi-state employment practices, and preferably union environments.
• A proactive problem-solver who takes ownership and follows through.
• Someone who enjoys helping create a positive, engaging, and fun workplace culture while still holding high standards and accountability.

Education

• High school diploma or equivalent required.
• Bachelor’s degree in business administration, Human Resources, or related field preferred.

Experience

• 2-5 years of experience in Human Resources role.
• Experience managing Human Resources across multiple states including California.
• 1-2 years of Union experience.

• Candidates who receive an offer of employment must successfully pass a background check and drug screen.
