Responsibilities

Serve as the primary point of contact for employees and supervisors on HR policies, benefits, and day-to-day workplace matters, maintaining a visible, engaged presence across all shifts.
Conduct formal workplace investigations from intake through resolution, applying sound judgment on when to resolve issues locally versus escalate to leadership, legal counsel, or our PEO's HR Business Partner.
Identify patterns across incidents and complaints to proactively address root causes rather than reacting case-by-case.
Lead difficult conversations — discipline, performance concerns, terminations — with honesty and composure, and coach supervisors on documenting these conversations defensibly.
Balance advocacy for employees with the practical needs of the business.
Apply working knowledge of federal and state employment law (FLSA, FMLA, ADA, EEO, workers' compensation, state leave and wage laws) to day-to-day situations.
Determine when to strictly enforce a policy versus contextually accommodate a situation, using independent judgment rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Interpret compliance guidance provided by our PEO partner and apply it correctly on-site.
Coach supervisors and frontline leads on people-management fundamentals — attendance, performance conversations, escalation triggers — building toward a team of supervisors who can handle more on their own over time.
Maintain regular floor presence and face-to-face engagement with production employees across shifts, not just administrative check-ins.
Flex into occasional off-shift hours (evenings or weekends) as operationally needed.
Own day-to-day administration of the ADP TotalSource platform: HRIS data hygiene, record accuracy, benefits administration, onboarding transactions, and compliance/HR reporting.
Coordinate directly with ADP's dedicated HR Business Partner and support team on plan questions, compliance updates, and platform functionality.
Provide backup payroll coverage when the controller is unavailable, and support general payroll processes.
Manage full-cycle recruitment: workforce planning, identifying talent gaps, sourcing, writing and posting jobs, screening resumes, interviewing, and coordinating offers.
Use pre-employment assessment tools to inform hiring decisions.
Act as the primary point of contact for staffing agency partners, coordinating temporary and contract labor needs as production demands shift.
Facilitate onboarding and new-hire orientation, including required quality system training.
Support our multicultural production workforce, including coordinating interpreter or bilingual support for live conversations and prioritizing professional translation of written materials.
Build genuine trust and rapport across a diverse employee population through an outgoing, approachable communication style.
Manage and monitor the shared HR email inbox, triaging and resolving inquiries or routing them to the right person.
Oversee the company's safety program, including coordinating safety training, tracking incidents, and handling regulatory reporting.
Manage employee engagement and recognition programs, and performance management processes.
Help plan and coordinate company events.
Develop and maintain electronic HR forms, automated workflows, and internal communications using Office 365 tools and AI-assisted workflow tools.
Build training content for our Learning Management System, including SCORM-authored courses, and design internal communications, signage, and recognition materials using tools like Canva.
Partner directly with the Sr. HR Manager on strategic projects, process consulting, and initiative rollout that crosses into other departments.
Proactively identify opportunities to improve HR processes and the broader employee work environment, for both production staff and leadership.
Fully explore the functionality of the systems and tools available rather than using them at a surface level.
Support quality system compliance through documentation and record-keeping, and help maintain training effectiveness, awareness, and competency records relevant to ISO 13485.
Report on HR department KPIs and take on other duties as the role and business evolve.
