What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 2+ years of progressive HR experience, preferably in a manufacturing environment.
• Strong knowledge of employee relations, HR compliance, and employment practices.
• Experience in a unionized environment and labor relations is strongly preferred.
• Excellent communication, leadership, problem-solving, and relationship-building skills.
