Maintain HRIS data integrity and produce timely workforce analytics and reports
Serve as the connective tissue between corporate HR and the local manufacturing leadership team

What You Bring

Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or related field
5+ years of HR experience within manufacturing or industrial settings
Deep familiarity with U.S. employment laws and compliance practices
Proven success supporting plant operations and high-volume hourly recruitment
Outstanding communication skills and a track record of positive employee relations
