Job description

Sr HR Director

$175000 - $205000 per year | Eagan, MN | Hybrid | Permanent

High-Scale Company + Heavy Transformation + Direct Line to Ownership + Family Culture, Not a Number

A bit about us:

We're a family-founded industrial services company built from the ground up over the last 35+ years — from a small garage operation into a leading player across electrical, automation, renewable energy, and power services for manufacturing, food and beverage, agriculture, and industrial clients nationally. We've grown fast, we're financially strong, and we're not slowing down: we're actively acquiring companies, expanding into new markets, and on track to significantly grow revenue this year alone. Ownership is deeply engaged, financially healthy, and genuinely invested in doing this right — not chasing growth for growth's sake, and values the HR team.

Why join us?

• Direct line to ownership and an incredible CHRO who is modernizing this function and genuinely invested in your success
• A company with the financial strength to invest in its people function properly, rather than stretching HR thin
• High-growth, high-visibility work: you'll help shape how this company scales through acquisitions, new markets, and rapid headcount growth
• A genuinely flat, accessible leadership team that wants a strategic partner
• Large existing team in place, with the ability to further structure & define the path forward, with a trajectory to expand your scope as the function matures

• Serve as strategic advisor to senior leaders on org design, workforce planning, and leadership effectiveness

• Drive adoption and data literacy within a newly implemented enterprise HR technology system
• Guide organizational design, restructuring, and job architecture as the company scales
• Report directly to the CHRO, who will be a close partner and advocate as you optimize the function

What You Bring

• 10-15+ years of progressive HR experience, including HR business partnership and complex employee relations
• 3+ years leading an HR Business Partner team or function
• Bachelor's degree in HR, Business, Organizational Development, or related field
• Experience leading organizational change, workforce planning, or org effectiveness initiatives
• Strong knowledge of employment law and HR compliance across multiple jurisdictions
• Experience supporting manufacturing, engineering, construction, industrial, or other field-based workforces highly desirable
• Experience supporting mergers, acquisitions, and integrations preferred
• Willingness to travel up to 25% (though likely less)
