Job description

Are you a hands-on HR leader who enjoys building relationships, developing employees, and making a visible impact throughout an organization?

CI-DELL Plastics is seeking an experienced Human Resources Manager to lead all aspects of Human Resources for our growing manufacturing operation. For 40 years, the company has built a reputation for quality, partnership, and continuous improvement while serving customers around the globe.

This is a true HR Department of One opportunity. Reporting directly to ownership and overseeing one Office Assistant, you'll serve as a trusted advisor to leaders, supervisors, and employees across a multi-shift manufacturing operation.

One day you may be recruiting talent, the next coaching a supervisor through an employee relations issue, developing training programs, administering benefits, supporting payroll, or helping shape the employee experience across the organization.

If you're looking for a role where you can influence culture, support business growth, and make a visible impact every day, this opportunity offers the chance to do just that.
