Human Resources & Labor Relations Manager

HR – Culture & Care Manager

Commercial Construction / Roofing
Bilingual English/Spanish Preferred 
Salary: $90,000–$115,000 + Discretionary Year-End Bonus

Location: Huntley. Illinois

We are partnering with an established commercial construction company seeking a bilingual HR – Culture & Care Manager to take ownership of the people side of the organization.

This is not a traditional corporate HR role. The company is looking for someone who genuinely enjoys working with people, building relationships and creating an environment where employees feel supported, respected and heard.

With a workforce that includes both English- and Spanish-speaking employees, being able to communicate comfortably in both English and Spanish is essential. This person will be visible and accessible across the organization, building relationships with field employees, supervisors, office staff and leadership.

The role combines hands-on HR responsibilities with a strong focus on culture, communication, employee care, retention and engagement.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Serve as a trusted HR resource for employees across field and office operations

• Communicate effectively with employees in both English and Spanish

• Build relationships with employees at all levels of the organization

• Help strengthen company culture and maintain a positive, people-focused work environment

• Support recruiting, onboarding and new-hire integration

• Help ensure Spanish-speaking employees have clear access to company information, policies, benefits and HR support

• Manage employee relations and address workplace concerns fairly and constructively

• Support performance management, coaching and employee development

• Coordinate benefits administration and day-to-day employee HR needs

• Maintain HR policies, documentation and employee records

• Identify opportunities to improve employee engagement and retention

• Support communication between leadership, field employees and office teams

• Assist with workforce planning and staffing needs

• Handle sensitive employee matters professionally and confidentially

• Support HR compliance and consistent employment practices

• Work with leadership on compensation, benefits and employee programs

• Spend time with employees in the field and office rather than operating solely from behind a desk

Culture & Employee Care

A major part of this position is making sure employees have someone within the organization they know, trust and feel comfortable approaching.

The HR – Culture & Care Manager will take the time to understand employees, listen to concerns and help resolve issues before they become larger problems.

Being bilingual will be particularly important in creating that connection. The goal is to ensure that language is never a barrier to an employee feeling informed, supported or valued by the company.

This person will help leadership continue building a culture that attracts good people and gives them a reason to stay.

What We’re Looking For

• Fluent/bilingual English and Spanish – required

• Previous HR experience, ideally within commercial construction, roofing, skilled trades, manufacturing or another field-based environment

• Experience supporting both hourly/field and salaried employees

• Strong understanding of employee relations and practical HR processes

• Comfortable interacting directly with field employees, supervisors and senior leadership

• Strong interpersonal and relationship-building skills

• Able to handle difficult and confidential conversations professionally

• Experience with recruiting, onboarding, benefits and employee development

• Organized and capable of managing multiple HR responsibilities

• Approachable, practical and solutions-oriented

• Comfortable being visible in the field and developing relationships with crews

• Someone who believes HR should support employees while also understanding the needs of the business

Experience working within a union environment is helpful, but this position is broader than labor relations. The focus is on the people who make up the organization and creating a strong connection between employees and leadership.

Compensation & Benefits

• $90,000–$115,000 base salary, depending on experience

• Discretionary year-end bonus

• Health insurance

• 10 days PTO

• Vehicle reimbursement or company vehicle

• Gas expenses covered

• Additional company benefits may apply

Why This Opportunity

This is an opportunity to become an important part of an established commercial construction company that recognizes its people are central to its success.

The HR – Culture & Care Manager will have the ability to build relationships throughout the organization, strengthen communication between the field and leadership, improve the employee experience
