We help transform the world’s most important businesses into vigorous, agile organizations that anticipate the unpredictable, adapt rapidly to disruption and outcompete their opposition.

Job description

You’ll lead the end-to-end HR function for a mixed field-and-office workforce—owning hiring, onboarding, employee relations, performance, policies, and people ops. You’ll partner with leadership to build a safe, high-performance culture while ensuring full compliance with UK employment law and ACAS guidance.

Key Responsibilities:

• Build and run recruitment pipelines (advertising, agencies, interviews, offers, pre-employment checks/right-to-work).
• Design onboarding that’s site-ready (inductions, H&S/HSEQ briefings, certifications tracking).
• Advise and manage ER cases end-to-end: investigations, disciplinaries, grievances, capability, and absence.
• Maintain HR policies, contracts, and employee handbook; ensure GDPR and equality compliance.
• Drive the HR calendar: appraisals, probation reviews, engagement initiatives, recognition.
• Partner with Payroll/Finance on accurate starters/leavers and contractual changes.
• Maintain HRIS data integrity; report on headcount, attrition, absence and key people metrics.
• Coordinate training and competency matrices (e.g., PIA/NRSWA/first aid) with HSEQ/Operations.
• Support change initiatives, restructures and (where applicable) TUPE processes.

Requirements:

• Proven experience as an HR Manager/strong HR Generalist in the UK (telecoms/utilities/construction a plus).
• Solid knowledge of UK employment law and ACAS codes; confident handling ER cases.
• CIPD Level 5 (Level 7 advantageous).
• Excellent communication, coaching and stakeholder management skills.
• Highly organised, discreet, and data-driven; comfortable splitting time between office and sites.
• HRIS proficiency and strong Excel/Sheets skills.

If you’re passionate about building a people-first, high-performance organisation, we’d love to hear from you!
