HR Manager

Bilingual English / Spanish. Build the HR function at KenHome — recruiting, onboarding, compliance, compensation, and the day-to-day people work — for a growing construction business. The role KenHome is the size where the absence of a dedicated HR function starts to show. We are hiring an HR Manager who can professionalize recruiting, onboarding, compensation, and compliance — while staying close enough to the business to be useful in the field, not just in the office. This is a broad, senior-individual-contributor role today, with a clear path to HR Director as the team grows. What you'll do Run full-cycle recruiting for non-executive roles in partnership with hiring managers; own our careers portal and candidate experience. Build and maintain the employee handbook, onboarding program, and 30/60/90 review cadence. Administer compensation, benefits, and PTO; partner with brokers at renewal. Own HRIS data hygiene; produce the monthly people metrics pack for the executive team. Lead EEOC, OFCCP (if/when applicable), ACA, and state-specific compliance — including I-9, E-Verify, and certified payroll HR components for federal work. Investigate and document employee relations issues; partner with outside counsel where appropriate. Drive DEI-in-hiring practices that are defensible on both merit and federal program grounds. Lead performance management; coach managers through difficult conversations. Partner with the COO on organizational design as new roles are added. What we're looking for 7+ years of HR experience, with at least 3 years as an HR Generalist Lead or HR Manager. Construction, engineering, manufacturing, or other blue-collar-plus-white-collar industry background strongly preferred. Working knowledge of federal labor law (FLSA, FMLA, ADA, Title VII), Texas employment law, and construction-specific compliance (Davis-Bacon, certified payroll coordination, OSHA recordkeeping partnership). Proficiency with at least one modern HRIS (Rippling, Gusto, BambooHR, Paylocity, ADP Workforce Now). Bachelor's degree; SHRM-CP / SHRM-SCP or PHR / SPHR strongly preferred. Discretion — this role sees everything. Nice to have Experience scaling HR from ~50 employees to ~200+. Prior HR work with federal primes (DBE / HUB / SDVOSB compliance experience). Bilingual English / Spanish. Benefits Medical, dental, and vision coverage (employee premium 100% covered; dependents heavily subsidized) 401(k) with 4% company match, vested immediately 20 days PTO + 11 paid holidays; separate sick bank 12 weeks paid parental leave $3,000 annual continuing-education and certification stipend Life, AD&D, and short/long-term disability Relocation support for role-critical hires #J-18808-Ljbffr
