The Opportunity
You will manage full-cycle recruitment across a diverse range of positions including manufacturing, skilled trades, engineering, technical, professional and corporate roles.
Beyond recruiting, you will work closely with HR leadership on broader people initiatives and gain exposure to multiple areas of Human Resources. This creates a strong opportunity for an experienced recruiter or developing HR Generalist who wants to build toward a more senior HR role.

Assist with job design, job descriptions and organizational structure initiatives.
Support compensation benchmarking and market-analysis activities.
Assist with employee relations, workplace investigations and performance-management matters.
Support workforce transitions and organizational changes.
Identify opportunities to improve HR and recruitment processes.
Participate in broader HR projects and initiatives as business requirements evolve.
