The Role

This is the senior on-site HR and administration leadership role for the manufacturing plant, reporting directly to the Plant leadership team. The mandate is to build practical, fit‑for‑purpose people and admin infrastructure that supports production scale‑up, rather than heavy corporate process.

• Leading recruitment across hourly and salaried roles in a manufacturing environment
• Owning employee relations and workforce discipline in a shift-based environment
• Overseeing onboarding, training coordination, and workforce policies
• Acting as the internal owner of HR operations while coordinating outsourced payroll, benefits, IT, and legal providers
• Supporting visa and immigration coordination where required
• Partnering with plant leadership on organizational structure, communication, and day‑to‑day people issues

Qualifications

• Senior HR experience within manufacturing, industrial, or process‑driven environments
• Proven exposure to shift operations and frontline workforce management
• Demonstrated ability to take initiative, build structure, and optimize people processes in growing operations
• Experience managing external HR, payroll, or professional service vendors
• Clear, confident communicator able to work with U.S.-based leadership and international technical stakeholders
