The Opportunity: HR Leader with a Purpose

Are you a proactive HR professional who thrives on building strong relationships, coaching leaders, and keeping operations running smoothly? We are looking for a high-energy, hands-on Regional HR Business Partner to support our growing divisions across coastal North and South Carolina!

In this dynamic role, you won't be trapped behind a desk all day.

• Be the Strategic Partner: Collaborate with corporate, area, and division leadership to design and execute HR initiatives aligned with local business goals and overarching company growth.
• Empower & Coach: Serve as an approachable advisor, mediator, and mentor for managers and employees alike-guiding teams on performance management, career development, conflict resolution, and leadership skills.
• Cultivate Culture & Engagement: Drive employee engagement initiatives, champion our Safe For Life culture, and lead localized community efforts through GFL's Full Circle Project.
• Field Presence & Relationship Building: Travel to branch locations across the assigned region to check in on teams, understand frontline challenges, and resolve workplace matters in real time.
• Talent & Employee Relations Expert: Manage end-to-end employee relations investigations, ensure compliance with federal/state employment laws, and advise leadership on fair employment practices, retention strategies, and performance management.
• Training & Onboarding champion: Deliver interactive training programs and onboarding experiences that set new employees up for long-term success.

What We're Looking For

• Experience: 7+ years of progressive HR Generalist/BP experience, ideally supporting field operations, logistics, industrial, or multi-site environments.
• Education: Bachelor's Degree in HR, Business Administration, or a related field (Master's degree or PHR / SPHR certification is a strong plus!).
• Communication Skills: Outstanding interpersonal skills with the ability to connect authentically with everyone-from frontline drivers and technicians to executive leadership.
• Business Acumen & Compliance: In-depth knowledge of employment laws, OSHA/safety standards, compensation basics, and employee relations best practices.
• Tech-Savvy: Experience with modern HRIS platforms (Workday experience is a major bonus!) and Microsoft Office Suite.
• Mobility: Willingness to travel routinely between local branch locations in coastal NC and SC.

Why You'll Love Working With Team Green

• Competitive Compensation & Benefits: Robust health, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k) retirement savings plan, life insurance, and paid time off.
• Growth & Recognition: Programs like the Green Futures Employee Scholarship and internal career pathing designed to help you reach your professional goals.
• Culture of Belonging: A supportive, tight-knit team culture where your voice is heard and your contributions make a tangible impact.
