Head of Recruiting & HR

HR Manager / Head of HR

Location: Webster, Texas Position Type: Full-time, on-site

KULR is looking for a hands‑on HR leader to take ownership of the company's human resources function. Most are based at our Webster headquarters or at a nearby facility that will be opening soon, although some employees, particularly members of our sales team, work remotely.

This is an on‑site position in Webster, Texas. The HR Manager / Head of HR will be responsible for both sides of HR: keeping the company compliant and well organized while also helping make KULR a place where people want to work.

You will be the company's primary HR professional and will handle a wide range of responsibilities rather than managing a large HR department. The company's outgoing Head of HR will remain available for approximately one to two months to help with the transition, explain existing processes, and provide context on the organization.

ADP is our payroll platform. This role runs payroll and owns the employee information, changes, and internal coordination needed to support payroll and benefits administration.

Serve as the primary point of contact for employee questions and HR matters

Maintain compliance with federal, state, and local employment requirements, and prepare and submit the related filings and reports on time (e.g., EEO‑1, ACA, OSHA recordkeeping, I‑9/E‑Verify, new‑hire reporting, and benefit plan filings)

Support the HR‑related obligations that come with being a public company, including benefit plan compliance and the workforce data and disclosures leadership relies on

Run payroll through ADP and manage the employee changes that feed it

Own the onboarding experience end to end, so that every new hire is set up, welcomed, and productive quickly

Assign required training and monitor completion — not only federal‑ and state‑mandated training, but company‑mandated training such as safety, cybersecurity awareness, ethics, and role‑specific requirements

Manage offboarding, employee records, and HR documentation

Support recruiting, interviewing, and hiring across the company

Help managers address employee relations and performance issues

Maintain and improve company policies, the employee handbook, and HR procedures

Coordinate performance reviews, compensation discussions, and employee development efforts

Lead employee engagement, recognition, communication, and culture‑building initiatives

Support the opening and staffing of KULR's new nearby facility

Identify HR processes that can be simplified, automated, or handled more effectively

Use AI and other technology responsibly to improve recruiting, documentation, communication, analysis, and routine HR work

Provide practical HR guidance to senior leadership and managers

The right person will be comfortable moving between strategic questions and routine administrative work. On the same day, you may advise a manager on an employee issue, run a payroll change in ADP, update a policy, interview a candidate, chase down an overdue training completion, and plan an employee engagement activity.

Broad HR experience, with enough knowledge to independently manage day‑to‑day HR responsibilities

A working understanding of employment law, compliance, employee relations, recruiting, benefits, payroll, and HR administration

The judgment to know when an issue can be handled internally and when outside legal or specialist advice is needed

The ability to handle confidential and sensitive matters with sound judgment

A bachelor's degree and professional HR certification are preferred, but demonstrated ability, judgment, and initiative are more important than credentials alone.

Can build structure without creating unnecessary bureaucracy

Wants the opportunity to shape an HR function rather than inherit a large department with rigid processes
