  • Direct all recruiting, onboarding, and offboarding processes for both salaried and hourly personnel.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or related field required; HR certifications (PHR, SPHR, SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP) preferred.
  • 7+ years of progressive HR leadership experience — construction industry or adjacent field experience strongly preferred.
  • Proficiency with BambooHR or similar HRIS platforms.
  • Strong understanding of benefits and 401(k) plan administration.
  • Proven ability to manage compliance, employee relations, and workforce development across diverse teams.
  • Excellent communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills with a practical, results-driven mindset.

What’s Offered

  • $150,000 – $175,000 base salary, plus performance-based bonus potential.
  • Comprehensive benefits: health, dental, vision, disability, and 401(k) with company match.
  • Opportunity to shape and modernize HR practices in a respected heavy civil construction company.
  • A collaborative environment with strong leadership support and growth potential.
