· Build and maintain constructive relationships with union and association representatives and support effective labour-management relations.

· Work collaboratively across People Services, including staffing, disability management, leaves, compensation, and classification, to support coordinated responses to complex people matters.

· Partner with Legal Services and external counsel on complex or high-risk matters, bringing ELR expertise and organizational context to strategy and resolution.

· Identify emerging issues, patterns, and systemic risks and contribute to initiatives that strengthen organizational and People Services outcomes.

· Support leaders in building capability and confidence in people leadership through consultation, coaching, education, tools, and practical support.

· Participate in collective bargaining and related activities, including preparation, research, proposal analysis, costing, negotiations, and implementation.

· Contribute to shared practice, knowledge exchange, and consistency across the Employee & Labour Relations team.

· Lead or contribute to People Services projects, working groups, and organizational initiatives where ELR expertise or client partnership is required.

What You Bring

· Undergraduate degree in Human Resources, Labour Relations, Business Administration, Public Administration, or a related discipline; equivalent combinations of education and experience will be considered.

· Chartered Professional in Human Resources (CPHR) designation preferred.

· Significant progressive experience, typically seven (7) to ten (10) years, in employee and labour relations, human resources, or a related field within a complex unionized environment.

· Demonstrated experience managing complex grievances, workplace investigations, performance and discipline matters, accommodations, and other sensitive employee relations issues.

· Experience advising operational and senior leaders and working collaboratively with unions, People Services colleagues, and Legal Services.

· Strong knowledge of collective agreement administration and applicable labour, employment, human rights, privacy, education, and related legislation.

· Sound judgment and the ability to assess risk, develop options, and provide clear recommendations in complex or ambiguous situations.

· Strong relationship-building, consultation, negotiation, investigation, facilitation, and conflict-resolution skills.

· Ability to influence and build alignment across organizational and functional boundaries.

· Demonstrated ability to analyze workplace issues and balance employee, operational, organizational, collective agreement, legislative, and values-based considerations to achieve practical, sustainable outcomes.

· High degree of discretion, professionalism, and political acuity in complex stakeholder environments.

· Strong written and verbal communication skills.

· Collective bargaining, mediation, arbitration, or related labour relations experience is considered an asset.
