We’re partnering with a well-established, nationwide engineering business to recruit an HR Manager for a highly operational, hands-on role.

Training & Compliance
- Overseeing training compliance (H&S, working at height, asbestos, etc.)
- Managing the training matrix and tracking expiries
- Booking and coordinating courses
- Ensuring all certifications and licences are up to date
HR Operations
- Supporting probation reviews and performance processes
- Managing employee lifecycle administration (including leavers)
- Maintaining HR systems and documentation
Employee Relations & Advisory
- Supporting managers with ER cases (disciplinaries, probation issues, etc.)
- Advising on best practice and employment law
- Updating policies, handbooks, and ensuring compliance
About You
- Strong HR generalist background (ideally at Advisor/Manager level)
- Comfortable in a high-volume, operational environment
- Confident managing recruitment and onboarding at pace
- Good working knowledge of UK employment law
- Able to juggle multiple priorities and stay organised
- Comfortable in a casual, down-to-earth culture
