HR Business Partner

Base Power Company • Austin, TX

3d • Onsite

About The Position

Base is America’s next-generation power company. We’re rebuilding the foundation of modern civilization–electricity–by deploying a vast network of distributed batteries that is transforming today’s fragile, centralized grid into a resilient and abundant system. We are engineers, operators, and creatives solving some of the most complex, interdisciplinary challenges of our time.

We're looking for a Junior HR Business Partner to support our frontline installer, manufacturing and warehouse teams. You'll be on the floor, not behind a desk as the go-to person for shift leads, associates, technicians, and installers when they have a question, a concern, or a problem that needs solving. You'll partner with the Frontline HRBP while owning real day-to-day work across our factory floor.

This role is a great fit for someone who wants to be a true advocate for our people while also serving as a support pillar for our leaders.

Requirements

• 1-3 years of experience in HR, people operations, or a related generalist role - manufacturing, warehouse, retail, or other frontline/hourly environments strongly preferred.
• Comfortable with being on the floor daily, not just a desk - this role requires visibility and presence in the Factory.
• Strong sense of discretion and judgement handling sensitive employee situations.
• A working knowledge of employment law, leave and employee relations.
• Clear, calm communication. You can navigate a hard conversation with an hourly employee or a shift lead with equal ease.
• Detail oriented and organized, comfortable managing multiple employee asks/cases across multiple shifts at once.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where processes are still being built.
• A genuine interest in frontline work and the people who do it, you understand that HR here means being present, not just being available.
• Willingness to travel to other warehouses and flex across multiple shifts as needed (roughly 5-10% of the time).

Responsibilities

• Be a visible, trusted presence on the factory floor - answering questions, hearing concerns, and building relationships with hourly employees and shift leads.
• Support new hires joining the installer, production, and warehouse teams including assisting with onboarding and check-ins.
• Handle frontline employee relations issues - attendance, conduct, safety concerns, and interpersonal conflicts - documenting and escalating appropriately.
• Support scheduling and attendance policy administration, including tracking points, leave requests, and multi-shift needs.
• Help coordinate policy roll outs and other floor-level communication.
• Track turnover, absenteeism, and engagement trends on the floor and flag patterns to the Frontline HRBP Lead.
• Conduct skip levels, round tables and AMA sessions on the floor to ensure a clear path for questions and escalation for factory employees.
