About The Position

At The Budd Group, we don’t just manage people; we build the teams that power our growth! We are looking for a high-performance Regional Human Resources Leader to serve as a strategic partner and "coach" for our shared services and field management teams. This isn't a "sit behind a desk" role—you are the heartbeat of our regional operations, traveling to where our employees are to ensure safety, compliance, and excellence. The Regional Human Resources Leader is a field-based role responsible for executing core HR strategies while partnering with operational leaders to drive workforce performance, safety, engagement, and stability across a defined region. This role balances hands-on HR execution with forward-looking, business-aligned thinking, ensuring that plans translate into results at the field level. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable resolving day-to-day HR issues as they are anticipating workforce needs, improving retention, supporting workforce development, and leveraging data to drive better outcomes.
