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.

This is not a corporate HR role where you sit behind a desk waiting for tickets. The right person is proactive, comfortable walking the floor, and capable of handling complex employee situations independently without needing to escalate everything up the chain.

• Support HR systems implementation and process improvement initiatives as needed
• Keep HR leadership informed on site-level trends, issues, and culture observations

Requirements

• BS/BA is required, SHRM is preferred
• 5+ years of HR experience with a manufacturing or warehousing background required
• Union experience is preferred; candidates without union experience will be considered if they demonstrate the ability to learn
• Proactive, floor-present leadership style; this is not a desk-based role
• Strong communicator with the ability to build trust across all levels of the organization
• Comfortable handling complex employee relations situations independently
• HR systems experience is a plus; experience supporting an HRIS implementation is valued
• Local candidates strongly preferred; no relocation available

Compensation and Benefits

• $90,000 to $110,000 base salary
• 12.5% annual bonus
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k) with company match
• Company-paid life, disability, and long-term care insurance
• Flexible spending accounts and wellness benefits
• Strong PTO plan
• Culture that blends the support of a larger organization with a small company feel
• Clear growth path toward a multi-site HR leadership role

This is a role for someone who takes ownership of their site, builds real relationships on the floor, and wants to be the kind of HR partner that people come to when they need help. If that describes you, apply now and let's talk.
