Employee Experience Specialist (EES)

Quanta Services • Des Moines, IA

3d • Hybrid

About The Position

The Employee Experience Specialist is an entry-level role within the Human Resources (HR) Department, embedded with our craft teams in the field and in the warehouse. The primary function of this role is to be a visible culture champion – building community, driving employee engagement, recognizing great work, and ensuring our craft employees are having the best possible experience, whether they are on the warehouse floor or at a construction site. The Specialist also serves as a trusted liaison between craft employees, Operations and Construction Management, and Human Resources. This role is home-based out of our Des Moines, Iowa warehouse, which provides two key advantages: constant visibility with the warehouse crews, and a central place to store and manage gear inventory for site visits. Because the role supports employees across multiple locations, this position requires significant travel (approximately 50 –75%) to our warehouse locations in Brooks, Kentucky and Kosciusko, Mississippi, as well as to active construction sites.

• Manage and store gear inventory at the Des Moines warehouse, keeping it organized and ready to distribute to craft employees during site visits
• Coordinate and share best practices with fellow Employee Experience Specialists across the business to keep engagement efforts consistent and cross-pollinate what is working
• Proactively monitor attendance and Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) channels, reach out to employees to gather statements and witness reports, and report findings to HR, Operations, and Construction Management
• Work closely with the Safety department to ensure statements, descriptions, and reports are accurately completed and disseminated to HR and Claims
