This role requires someone who can work hands-on, build structure in a new site environment, and partner effectively with operations, employees, and leadership.

    • Establish and standardize HR policies, procedures, and site practices 
    • Serve as a trusted advisor to managers on employee relations, performance, and policy matters 
    • Partner cross-functionally with operations, safety, payroll, and corporate HR 
    • Support onboarding, training readiness, and workforce planning 
    • Oversee core HR functions including employee relations, benefits, leave administration, payroll support, and compliance 
    • Maintain accurate HR records and ensure audit readiness 
    • Drive employee engagement and culture-building initiatives 
    • Identify and implement process improvements to enhance efficiency and employee experience
