With the support of the Fractional HR Director, this role will take ownership of the day-to-day HR function. The ideal candidate will hold a bachelor's degree in human resources with 8+ years of HR experience, or a similar background.

• Coordinate recruiting efforts from the initial job post to final interviews, creating an excellent candidate experience
• Champion and refine the onboarding process, coordinating pre-employment screening, HRIS entry, employment documentation, and orientation
• Working with the utmost confidentiality, provide support to employees in HR related matters and questions including benefits, leave, and payroll
• Manage the HR & Payroll system, Paylocity, using your honed HRIS skills to maintain accurate employee records and documentation
• Bring your payroll processing experience to own the bi-weekly payroll process with great attention to detail, including accurate timekeeping, and administering PTO and employee reimbursements
• Lead employee engagement initiatives including employee communications, recognition programs, and company events
• Coordinate professional development, certifications, and compliance initiatives
• Oversee performance review programs and employee lifecycle processes
• Handle employee terminations including employee offboarding and exit interviews
• Partner with leadership to ensure HR processes are compliant, employee-focused, and reflect the organization's strategic goals
• Create and modify existing HR infrastructure, including practices, policies, and procedures to best serve our employees and leadership team
• Develop the vision for our future HR team

• Employee assistance program
• 401k with a company match
• Paid time off
• 7 Paid Holidays
• Enjoy employee events throughout the year (picnics, sledding, holiday dinner, etc.)

If you like a company that's big enough to provide stability yet small enough where you can have autonomy within your work and move fast, Engelsma Homes is the place for you.
