Job description

Spectrum Woodworking is seeking an experienced, hands‑on HR Manager to support our growing group of companies. Reporting to the Director of Finance & Administration, this position will own the day‑to‑day HR function, including recruiting, payroll administration, employee relations, benefits, safety administration, workers' compensation, and employment compliance.

Our team includes office professionals, project management, engineering, production/shop employees, and field personnel. Experience in construction, manufacturing, specialty contracting, or a similar environment is strongly preferred.

How We Approach HR

We’re looking for a practical, business‑minded HR leader who believes in fair and consistent treatment, merit‑based hiring and advancement, personal accountability, and creating meaningful opportunities for employees to succeed.

We want someone who understands that HR should support our people while also supporting the operational needs, performance, and long‑term success of the business.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Manage recruiting and hiring from job posting through onboarding
• Serve as the primary day‑to‑day HR resource for employees and managers
• Manage employee records, onboarding/offboarding, PTO, leaves, policies, and HR documentation
• Support managers with performance management, coaching, corrective action, and terminations
• Administer payroll across multiple company entities and coordinate employee benefits
• Manage workers' compensation claims and return‑to‑work processes
• Administer company safety programs, OSHA records, training documentation, and incident reporting
• Maintain compliance with applicable Oregon, Washington, and federal employment requirements
• Coordinate annual employee reviews and support employee development and retention initiatives
• Track key HR metrics including recruiting, turnover, attendance, safety, and workforce trends

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 4–7+ years of HR/generalist experience with increasing responsibility
• Hands‑on recruiting and payroll administration experience
• Strong employee relations and performance management experience
• Experience with workers' compensation and workplace safety administration
• Working knowledge of state and federal employment requirements
• Strong organizational, communication, and problem‑solving skills
• Ability to independently manage multiple priorities and follow through
• High level of professionalism and discretion with confidential information

HIGHLY PREFERRED

• Construction, manufacturing, architectural millwork, specialty contracting, or skilled‑trades HR experience
• Experience supporting both salaried and hourly employees
• Oregon and Washington employment experience
• Multi‑company payroll experience
• Experience working around union employees
• OSHA 10/30 or similar safety experience
• Bachelor's degree in HR, Business Administration, or related field—or equivalent practical experience

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

This is a hands‑on HR role, not a traditional corporate HR position. We're looking for someone who is organized, approachable, accountable, and comfortable taking ownership.

On any given day, you may be recruiting for an important position, helping a manager navigate an employee issue, reviewing payroll, coordinating a workers' compensation claim, or making sure our safety and compliance documentation is in order.

Spectrum has grown significantly over the past several years, and this position will play an important role in building the people and systems needed for our next stage of growth.

Compensation: $70,000–$80,000 DOE

Schedule: Full‑time, primarily on‑site
