YOUR NEXT CHAPTER IN HR STARTS HERE

Do you light up when a process finally clicks, a report tells a clear story, or a manager leaves your conversation feeling more confident? If so, we'd love to meet you.

As our HR Coordinator, you'll be at the heart of our HR team. You'll own Workday, our core people system, and help make every step of a colleague's journey with us – from first day to farewell – simple, accurate and positive.

This isn't a role where you just keep things ticking over. You'll have real ownership, the freedom to improve how we work, and a direct impact on thousands of moments that matter to our people.

WHY FORTRESS SAFETY?

Since 1977, we've had one simple mission: keeping people safe. Our machinery safety and interlocking solutions protect people and equipment in hazardous environments around the world. We work from our Wolverhampton HQ and have teams across the USA, Europe, Australia, China and India.

We're part of Halma plc, a FTSE 100 group of more than 8,000 people in over 50 businesses, all working towards a safer, cleaner, healthier future. You'll get the warmth and pace of a close-knit team, with the stability and opportunities of a global group.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

• Taking ownership of Workday day to day, including transactions, starters, leavers and movers, data cleansing and configuration support

• Becoming our trusted Workday super-user, the person everyone turns to and who helps the system work smarter

• Building reports and dashboards that turn people data into real-time insight for decisions

• Issuing contracts and change letters, and keeping employee records accurate and up to date

• Leading on right-to-work and mandatory training compliance, and auditing HR policies to keep us on track

• Working alongside our HR Business Partners, supporting recruitment, onboarding and day-to-day queries, and stepping in when the team needs you

• Coaching line managers through everyday people matters such as absence, return-to-work, performance and probation

• Drafting ER letters and keeping our ER tracker in great shape

• Bringing learning to life by coordinating training through Workday Learning and supporting manager toolkits for objectives, 1:1s and reviews

• Helping colleagues feel informed, connected and celebrated through engagement surveys, recognition schemes and internal communications

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• Experience as an HR Coordinator, HR Administrator or in a similar role in a busy, fast-moving environment

• Hands-on experience of Workday or a similar HRIS, plus the curiosity and confidence to become our expert

• A working knowledge of UK employment law, compliance and HR best practice

• A sharp eye for detail and strong organisational skills

• Discretion and sound judgement with confidential people information

• Warm, confident communication, so managers feel supported and comfortable coming to you

• A proactive, can-do mindset: you spot what could be better and make it happen

It's a bonus if you have:

• A CIPD qualification (or you're working towards one) or similar experience gained on the job

• Experience in a manufacturing, engineering or international business

• Confidence using Excel to analyse and present data

Don't tick every box? Please apply anyway. We care about potential and attitude as much as experience.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

• Salary of £30,000 – £35,000, plus our Company Bonus Scheme

• Hybrid working, with 3–4 days in our Wolverhampton office

• 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays, so you have time to recharge

• Pension with employer contributions of up to 10.5%

• Annual Halma share vesting scheme, so you share in our success

• Life assurance cover

• Eyecare and a bike to work scheme

• Airport parking discounts

• Long service recognition, because loyalty deserves to be celebrated
