Honolulu, HI (On-site) | Direct Hire

About Our Client

We are currently searching on behalf of our client, a well-established general contractor based in

Honolulu. The company operates two construction firms under one parent group and delivers residential,

commercial, and retail projects across the islands.

The Opportunity

Our client is seeking an HR Manager to support human resources for two construction companies

operating under one parent group. This position reports directly to ownership and offers on-the-job training

for candidates with strong people skills and growth potential.

The HR Manager supports onboarding, recruiting, benefits, and employee relations. The top priority for

this role is helping build and run an onboarding program that includes orientation, training, and follow-up.

Payroll is handled separately by the office manager and accounting team.

What You'll Do

• Onboarding program: Help build and run an engaging onboarding experience with orientation, training, and follow-up that makes new hires feel welcome.
• Recruiting support: Partner with hiring managers and external recruiters to schedule, coordinate, and make every candidate feel valued.
• Benefits support: Help employees understand their benefits and bring new ideas to improve them.
• Employee support: Be a friendly, trusted point of contact for employees. Listen to concerns and escalate serious matters as needed.
• Leadership partnership: Work closely with ownership on HR matters and learn how people decisions are made across both companies.
• Culture and engagement: Help plan recognition, events, and communication that keep office and field teams connected.
• HR administration: Coordinate with the office manager and accounting team on employee records and HR paperwork. Payroll is handled by others.
• Learning and growth: Build your knowledge of HR policies, compliance, and the construction industry with support from leadership.

What You Bring

• People first mindset: You genuinely care about people and it shows in how you work. This matters more than anything else.
• Positive energy: You are outgoing, charismatic, and leave a strong impression on everyone you meet.
• Eagerness to learn: You are coachable, curious, and excited to grow into a bigger role.
• Creativity: You bring new ideas and are not afraid to try something different.
• Flexibility: You adapt easily and are comfortable wearing different hats in a lean team.
• Relevant experience: Some experience in HR, recruiting, office management, customer service, or another people-focused role.
• Construction knowledge: Exposure to the construction industry is nice to have, not required.
• Education: A degree is not required. Attitude and people skills matter more.
• Cultural fit: You value teamwork, respect, and learning from the people around you.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary Range: $80,000 to $130,000 annually, depending on experience.
• Schedule: Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, fully on-site in Honolulu.
