Job description

Location: Cheyenne, Wyoming | Industry: Construction

Help build the workforce behind the work.

Great construction projects depend on great people. We’re looking for a hands‑on HR Manager who can earn trust in the field, advise leaders with confidence and make a meaningful difference across the employee experience.

Based in Cheyenne, Wyoming, this is a broad role for someone who enjoys variety, takes ownership and understands the realities of supporting a construction workforce. From recruitment and onboarding to employee relations and union engagement, you’ll help ensure the business has the people, support and practices it needs to deliver.

If you enjoy being close to operations, solving problems and seeing the impact of your work, this is an opportunity to make your mark.

The opportunity

You’ll be a trusted partner to operational leaders, managers and employees, balancing day‑to‑day HR support with opportunities to improve how the business attracts, welcomes, develops and retains its people.

You’ll need to be equally comfortable handling a sensitive employee issue, working through a union‑related matter, supporting a hiring manager or improving a new employee’s first week.

What you’ll be doing

• Partner with operations: Build strong relationships across project sites and the wider business, providing practical HR advice that reflects operational priorities.
• Lead employee relations: Guide managers through performance, conduct, attendance, grievances and workplace investigations with fairness, consistency and sound judgment.
• Support union relationships: Work constructively with union representatives and business leaders, supporting collective bargaining agreement administration, grievance resolution and effective communication.
• Drive recruitment: Partner with hiring managers to attract and recruit field, skilled trades, supervisory and office‑based employees, anticipating workforce needs across projects.
• Strengthen onboarding: Create a welcoming, well‑organized experience that helps new employees understand the business, expectations and safety‑first culture from day one.
• Coach managers: Help leaders build confidence in managing people, addressing issues early and having effective conversations.
• Improve HR practices: Identify opportunities to simplify processes, strengthen policies and make HR support more accessible and effective.
• Support retention and development: Understand what matters to employees and turn that insight into practical improvements.
• Keep the fundamentals strong: Maintain accurate employee records and coordinate with payroll, benefits and safety colleagues to deliver dependable support.

What you’ll bring

You’re a well‑rounded HR professional who combines empathy with confidence and follows through on what you say you’ll do.

You’ll bring:

• Broad HR generalist or management experience spanning employee relations, recruitment, onboarding and manager support.
• Experience supporting a unionized workforce, with a practical understanding of collective bargaining agreements and grievance processes.
• Experience in construction or a related environment such as infrastructure, engineering, manufacturing or industrial services.
• The ability to build credibility with field employees, supervisors and senior leaders.
• Sound judgment when handling sensitive situations, with a balanced and consistent approach.
• Strong organization and the flexibility to manage changing priorities in a project‑driven environment.
• A working knowledge of relevant employment requirements and the judgment to seek specialist advice when needed.
• A willingness to spend time with operational teams and visit project sites as required.

A relevant degree or HR certification, such as SHRM‑CP or PHR, would be welcome, alongside practical experience and a strong track record.

Why this role stands out

• Breadth, ownership and visible impact. You’ll have the opportunity to influence the full employee journey and see the results of your work across the business.
• A close connection to operations. You’ll work alongside the people delivering projects, understanding their challenges and helping them succeed.
• Room to improve things. Bring your ideas, challenge processes that could work better and help shape an HR approach that supports both people and performance.
• Relationships that matter. This is a role for someone who enjoys earning trust, bringing people together and becoming a valued part of the team.
