Job Details

We are looking for an experienced HR manager to step in as a true business partner to leadership and help scale our people processes for the next phase of the company.

This is a high-visibility, “big picture” HR leadership role with a mix of strategic influence and hands‑on execution. The right individual will bring experience supporting growth, ideally including M&A integration or multi‑site environments, while being comfortable owning everything from organizational design to compliance and safety.

What You’ll Own

• Serve as the lead HR partner to executive leadership, aligning people strategy with business growth goals
• Lead and/or support M&A integration efforts (onboarding, policy alignment, cultural integration)
• Oversee full‑cycle HR operations, including employee relations, performance management, and compliance
• Drive improvements in organizational structure, workforce planning, and succession planning
• Partner with operations leadership on safety programs, risk mitigation, and compliance.
• Evaluate and upgrade HR systems, policies, and processes to support scale
• Coach managers on leadership, employee issues, and performance expectations
• Ensure compliance across multi-state labor laws and manufacturing environments

What We’re Looking For

• 5-10+ years of progressive HR experience, with a strong background in manufacturing or industrial environments
• Proven ability to operate at both strategic and tactical levels (“roll-up-your-sleeves” mindset)
• Experience supporting company growth, acquisitions, or integrations strongly preferred
• Background touching safety programs or EHS collaboration (direct ownership is a plus)
• Strong working knowledge of Washington labor laws and HR compliance
• Demonstrated ability to influence leadership and drive change in a fast‑paced, evolving environment
• Experience supporting hourly and salaried workforces, ideally in a production setting

Why This Role

• Opportunity to step into a high‑impact leadership position with direct visibility to ownership/executive team
• Chance to help shape the next phase of growth for a long-standing, respected manufacturer
• Mix of strategy + execution where you are not siloed
• Stable organization with strong reputation, now entering an expansion phase

A bit about us:

For over 50 years, we’ve been a leader in architectural metalwork, delivering high‑impact projects that shape public spaces across the country. Our work combines precision manufacturing with design‑driven craftsmanship, supporting everything from large‑scale infrastructure to custom architectural applications.

We’ve built our reputation on quality, innovation, and long‑tenured talent, maintaining a hands‑on, collaborative culture rooted in accountability and pride in the work.

Why join us?

• Work closely with executive leadership and play a key role in shaping culture and scaling the organization
• Flexibility that’s real: Hybrid scheduling options and a leadership team that genuinely supports work‑life balance
• Stability + growth: Established, purpose‑driven company with a strong track record and clear expansion plans
• Strong benefits: Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 401K with match
• Unlimited PTO backed by a culture that encourages taking it
