Are you a strategic Human Resources leader who has successfully partnered with operational leadership in manufacturing environments to drive organizational performance, strengthen workplace culture, and develop high-performing teams?
Staff Plus is proud to partner with a respected and growing manufacturing organization in the Halton Region in the search for an accomplished Human Resources Manager. Reporting into senior HR leadership, this role offers the opportunity to serve as a trusted advisor to the business, providing leadership across employee relations, workforce strategy, organizational effectiveness, talent initiatives, and HR operations.
This is a highly visible leadership opportunity for an experienced HR professional who combines strong business acumen with a hands-on approach to people leadership. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in shaping the employee experience, influencing key business decisions, navigating complex workforce challenges, and ensuring HR strategies align with the organization's long-term growth objectives.
Joining an established organization with a strong operational presence, you will have the opportunity to lead an experienced HR team, partner closely with senior leaders, and make a measurable impact on both organizational success and workplace culture.

- Competitive annual compensation of $110,000-$150,000, commensurate with experience, complemented by a comprehensive benefits package, RRSP matching, paid time off, and a strong commitment to employee well-being and professional growth
