• Contribute to HR process improvements, audits, policy updates, technology/AI-enabled workflows, and other special projects

What We're Looking For

You are an HR professional who is organized, practical, approachable, and highly accountable. You don't wait to be reminded about important tasks - you anticipate what needs to happen, follow through, and close the loop.

You will be successful in this role if you:

• Take end-to-end ownership of your responsibilities
• Can manage competing priorities without losing attention to detail
• Build trust and credibility with employees and leaders at all levels
• Balance employee needs with practical business and operational requirements
• Strong communication skills
• Are comfortable working independently and solving problems with limited direction and knowing when to escalate an issue
• Handle confidential and sensitive information with sound judgment
• Learn new systems, legislation, and processes quickly

Qualifications

• Post-secondary education in Human Resources, Occupational Health & Safety, Business Administration, or a related field
• 3-5 years of progressive Human Resources experience, including meaningful Health & Safety responsibilities
• Working knowledge of Ontario employment legislation, including the Employment Standards Act, Occupational Health and Safety Act, and Human Rights Code
• Experience supporting a multi-site, skilled trades, construction, service, manufacturing, or industrial workforce is strongly preferred
• Experience with JHSC activities, incident documentation, mandatory training, and safety compliance
• Strong HRIS and technology skills; experience with BambooHR and eCompliance is an asset.
• CHRP designation and JHSC certification are assets, or willingness to obtain relevant certifications
• Valid driver's licence and ability to travel between locations as required

Why This Opportunity?

This is more than an administrative HR position. It is an opportunity to become a key operational partner across Human Resources and Health & Safety, with meaningful responsibility and visibility throughout the organization.

If you are an HR Generalist who enjoys variety, ownership, problem-solving, employee support, and making a tangible difference, we would like to hear from you.
