Key Priorities
- Lead implementation of a selected payroll and HR system in partnership with Finance and IT, including process design, data readiness, testing, training, implementation, and transition support. Finance will continue to process payroll.
- Develop a stronger recruiting and hiring strategy, including broader sourcing channels, proactive talent pipelines, and improved methods for attracting skilled machining employees and automation engineering leaders.
- Improve hiring-manager capability through consistent interviewing, candidate assessment, selection practices, and practical recruiting tools.
- Coach and train managers to address routine attendance, performance, conduct, conflict, time-off, and day-to-day employee matters, with clear guidance on when HR involvement is required.
- Partner with leadership over time to strengthen accountability, consistency, manager ownership, and workplace culture.
- Provide HR leadership, guidance, and support across both businesses and locations, resolving routine matters independently and presenting recommendations to the General Manager before significant actions are taken.

- Lead recruitment and workforce planning, including sourcing, job postings, interviews, offers, onboarding, and succession and staffing needs.

- Ensure compliance with Ontario employment, human rights, accessibility, occupational health and safety, and other applicable workplace legislation.
- Monitor workforce information and HR trends and provide practical recommendations to leadership.
- Post-secondary education in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field.
- Approximately 7-10 years of progressive HR experience, including experience independently leading a broad HR function; exceptional candidates with somewhat less experience may be considered.
- Experience supporting an hourly workforce and handling complex employee relations, health and safety, and difficult-to-fill recruitment. Manufacturing, skilled-trades, or industrial experience is preferred but not required.
- Strong working knowledge of Ontario employment and workplace legislation and practical HR practices.
- Demonstrated experience implementing or significantly improving an HRIS or payroll system is strongly preferred.
- Strong judgment, discretion, organization, follow-through, and the ability to balance employee support with business needs and consistent accountability.
- A practical, approachable style and willingness to be visible and accessible across both facilities.
- CHRP or CHRL designation is preferred.
