You'll partner closely with operational leaders on employee relations, investigations, recruiting, seasonal workforce planning, performance management, compliance, onboarding, and employee development.

The right person will be comfortable managing multiple priorities, traveling between locations, handling sensitive employee matters, and working directly with managers to solve day-to-day people challenges.

Lead workplace investigations, employee relations matters, policy concerns, and corrective actions.

Coach managers through performance issues, conflict resolution, progressive discipline, and employee development.

Help ensure timely, consistent onboarding and employee retention efforts.

Monitor compliance with employment laws, wage and hour requirements, and internal People Operations policies.

Review employee documentation, personnel files, training records, and other compliance-related processes.

Partner with safety and risk teams on workforce concerns and employee-related incidents.

Travel regularly to supported branch locations for investigations, onboarding, coaching, training, and employee engagement.

Experience with HRIS and ATS platforms such as Paylocity, ADP, Workday, BambooHR, or similar systems.

• Experience supporting seasonal workforces, high-volume hiring, or temporary/visa worker programs strongly preferred.

Strong organization, documentation, problem-solving, and relationship-building skills.

Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-moving operational environment.

PHR, SHRM-CP, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, OSHA 10/30, or related certification preferred.

Bilingual English/Spanish strongly preferred

You’ll Be Successful Here If You

Enjoy being close to the operation rather than working in a purely corporate HR environment.

Are comfortable handling investigations and difficult employee conversations.

Can shift between recruiting, employee relations, compliance, and manager coaching throughout the day.

Build credibility quickly with field employees and operational leaders.

Stay organized and maintain strong documentation even when priorities change.

Are comfortable with regular branch travel and increased activity during peak hiring seasons.
