About The Position

The Human Resources Specialist at VeroTouch is a pivotal early-career role designed for an ambitious HR professional ready to grow fast and own real outcomes. You will support the full spectrum of HR functions: talent acquisition, employee relations, compliance, onboarding, and culture in a hands-on, startup-like environment where your contributions will be immediately visible. Reporting to executive leadership, this role is built for someone with approximately 3 years of generalist HR experience who is eager to operate with increasing autonomy, take on expanded responsibilities quickly, and develop a clear path toward an HR Manager role or beyond within a short timeframe. You do not need to have all the answers today, but you need to be hungry, resourceful, and willing to roll up your sleeves alongside a team building something that has never been built before.

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience, a proven work ethic, and a strong commitment to continuous learning—attributes that deliver results beyond traditional education (required).
• 3+ years of HR generalist experience, ideally in construction, manufacturing, technology, or startup environments.
• Foundational knowledge of talent acquisition, employee relations, onboarding, and HR compliance.
• Working knowledge of employment laws, including Colorado-specific regulations and OSHA basics relevant to construction environments.
• Ability to build trusted relationships across diverse teams from field crews and technicians to office staff and leadership.
• Comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where structure is still being built.

Nice To Haves

• Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources Management, Business Administration, Organizational Development, or a related field; (preferred).
• Experience supporting HR in a scaling, early-stage, or venture-backed company.
• Exposure to lean principles, construction, manufacturing, or technology-driven operations.
• Demonstrated track record of taking initiative, owning tasks end-to-end, and growing beyond the original scope of a role.

Responsibilities

• Support and execute day-to-day HR operations including onboarding, offboarding, record-keeping, benefits administration, and policy compliance.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date employee records, HR systems, and documentation in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations.
• Assist with developing and refining HR policies, templates, and standard operating procedures as the organization scales.
• Coordinate the full-cycle recruitment process: job postings, candidate screening, interview scheduling, offer letters, and onboarding logistics with guidance from leadership.
• Support sourcing efforts for construction, technical, and corporate roles, building pipelines for hard-to-fill positions.
• Deliver structured onboarding experiences that quickly integrate new hires into VeroTouch's culture and operational cadence.
• Serve as a day-to-day point of contact for employee questions, concerns, and HR matters, escalating complex issues as appropriate.
• Help maintain and reinforce VeroTouch's culture of excellence, accountability, and builder's mindset through consistent communication and engagement.
• Support investigations, documentation, and resolution of employee relations issues in a fair and consistent manner.
• Assist in administering performance management cycles, including goal-setting templates, feedback tools, and evaluation tracking.
• Coordinate training and development logistics, including safety orientations, onboarding training, and team-wide programs.
• Help manage compensation and benefits programs, ensuring competitive offerings that align with industry standards, including health insurance, retirement plans, paid time off, and performance incentives.
• In partnership with corporate counsel, assist with ensuring full compliance with federal, state (Colorado-specific), and local employment laws, occupational safety regulations (particularly for construction sites), and industry standards, while maintaining accurate HR records and reporting.
• Help monitor HR metrics, employee engagement, retention trends, and organizational health; provide data-driven recommendations to improve processes and overall workforce effectiveness.
