Key Responsibilities
- Build a unified, enterprise people strategy that aligns with company mission, growth objectives, and PE value creation targets.
- Design scalable org structures, role architectures, and workforce models

- Own the HR technology roadmap (e.g., HRIS/Workday/UKG/SuccessFactors), ATS, LMS, and workforce management tools; drive data integrity and self‑service.
- Build an analytics capability and dashboarding for executive and PE board reporting: retention, turnover, TRIR/DART, hiring velocity, internal mobility, diversity representation, cost of labor, and productivity indicators.
- Establish HR shared services for consistent, scalable processes (onboarding, I‑9, E‑Verify, employee files, leave management, employee helpdesk/Case management).
- Ensure compliance across federal and multi‑state employment laws (EEOC, FMLA, ADA, wage & hour, background checks), and industry requirements (OSHA, DOT, drug/alcohol testing, fit‑for‑duty).
- Manage union and non‑union environments as applicable; maintain productive relationships, negotiate agreements when required, and uphold standards.
- Lead people due diligence in acquisitions; assess org health, leadership talent, compensation/benefits, policies, and cultural alignment.
- Execute 100‑day integration plans (systems, org structures, harmonized policies/benefits, change management).
Qualification & Requirements
- 15+ years progressive HR leadership; 8+ years leading enterprise HR in multi‑site, field‑intensive, safety‑critical industries (utilities, infrastructure, construction, vegetation management, energy, logistics). PE‑backed portfolio experience strongly preferred.
- Proven success supporting 5,000+ employees across multiple states; union and non‑union environments.
- Bachelor’s required; Master’s in HR/Business/Org Development preferred.
