About the Role

A consumer products manufacturer in the Oakmont, PA area is looking for a hands-on HR Manager to support a satellite manufacturing facility backed by a larger organization with six locations across the U.S. This is a site-based role that blends strategic HR partnership with daily execution. You will be the primary HR resource on the ground, working closely with plant leadership and floor employees to handle employee relations, support compliance, manage grievances, and help build a strong, consistent people culture.

This role also carries real growth potential. The company is building toward a model where this person could eventually oversee HR across multiple sites, making it a meaningful step for someone who wants to grow into a broader HR leadership position.
