Global Human Resources Manager

Job Description Job Description Are You Ready to Scale a Cross-Border HR Engine from the Shop Floor Up? At Sentrimax Centrifuges , we don’t run HR from an ivory tower. We build high-performance industrial centrifuges, remanufacture critical equipment, and support dedicated field service teams across the U.S. and Canada. We are looking for a hands-on, high-ownership Global HR Manager based on-site at our flagship location in Mansfield, TX. This isn’t a passive policy-policing job—it is a high-visibility operational partnership. You will roll up your sleeves, walk the shop floor, partner with executive leadership, and drive end-to-end HR excellence across our multi-site U.S. and Canadian footprint (~60 employees). If you thrive in lean, fast-growing environments, command respect from shop-floor technicians to C-suite executives, and possess the trajectory to rapidly expand your scope into a senior leadership role , Sentrimax is your launchpad. Why This Role is Different Direct Growth Runway: Designed specifically for a rising HR leader who wants to earn a broader, senior executive seat as our business scales. True Operational Impact: You won't be trapped behind a desk—you will actively bridge the gap between business strategy, field operations, safety culture, and multi-jurisdiction compliance. Cross-Border Mastery: Take full ownership of workforce operations across both the U.S. and Canada (Alberta and Ontario). What You Will Own 1. Operational HR & Workforce Execution Serve as the primary, visible on-site HR leader for employees and managers in Mansfield, delivering trusted day-to-day counsel on policies, development, and team dynamics. Manage the complete employee lifecycle: high-touch onboarding (shop, field, and office), internal mobility, offboarding, and standardizing workflows across all sites. Cultivate a unified, safe, and engaging culture across geographically dispersed field technicians, shop mechanics, and office staff. 2. Cross-Border Compliance & Legal Governance Act as the company subject matter expert on U.S. federal/state laws (FLSA, FMLA, ADA, EEO) and Canadian provincial employment standards (hours of work, overtime, statutory leaves, and terminations in Alberta and Ontario). Maintain bulletproof compliance, audit readiness, employee handbooks, and standardized HR documentation. 3. HRIS, Payroll & Workforce Analytics Master Paylocity as our system of record—ensuring flawless employee data entry, status changes, time/attendance validation, and pre-processing payroll audit support alongside Finance. Build actionable HR dashboards and reports (headcount, retention, turnover, compliance, and labor metrics) to drive data-backed business decisions. 4. Talent Acquisition & Performance Coaching Partner with hiring managers to recruit, screen, and select top-tier shop, field service, and professional talent. Coach managers on performance management, constructive feedback, progressive discipline, and conflict resolution grounded in company values. Handle employee relations investigations with high discretion, fairness, and business acumen. The Mindset & Qualifications We Look For The Mindset: Owner’s Mindset: You treat company processes and talent outcomes as your personal responsibility. You don't just point out problems; you build the fix. Shop-Floor Approachability: You are as comfortable discussing career paths with a shop technician in work boots as you are delivering a compliance update to executive leadership. Process Discipline: You bring structure to ambiguity, ensuring process integrity and operational consistency across every location. Required Experience: 7+ years of progressive, hands-on generalist HR experience within an industrial, manufacturing, oilfield services, construction, or heavy equipment environment . Demonstrated U.S. and Canadian HR experience: Direct familiarity with U.S. employment laws AND Canadian provincial labor standards (Alberta/Ontario). Paylocity Expertise: Practical, hands-on mastery using Paylocity (or similar HRIS/payroll platforms) for data management, reporting, and onboarding workflows. Education: Bachelor’s degree in HR, Business Administration, Industrial Relations, or equivalent practical HR experience. On-Site Presence: Willingness to work on-site in Mansfield, TX daily, with periodic travel to company sites across the U.S. and Canada. Preferred Experience: HR experience within a private equity-backed , small-to-midsize growing company where HR is lean and agile. Professional HR Designations: PHR, SPHR, SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, or Canadian CPHR/CHRL. Direct experience partnering with Safety/EHS teams on workers' compensation, return-to-work, and safety culture initiatives. \nCompany Description Sentrimax Centrifuges Inc. is dedicated to revolutionizing the centrifuge industry by providing innovative and sustainable separation equipment solutions that enable our customers to achieve their goals and make a positive impact on the world.
