- Participate in leadership offsites and contribute to company-level planning as the business scales
- Deliver executive-quality reporting on HR metrics, workforce trends, and program results
PEO & HR Operations
- Own the ADP TotalSource relationship — payroll, benefits administration, compliance guidance, and vendor performance management
- Evaluate the long-term HR operating model as the company grows, including assessing the build vs. buy decision for in-house functions
- Build and formalize scalable HR processes, policies, and infrastructure across the organization
Employee Relations & Sensitive Situations
- Manage complex and sensitive employee relations matters — including terminations, performance management, investigations, attendance, conduct, and policy violations.
- Coach managers on documentation, performance management, accountability, and consistent application of policies and procedures.
- Support ongoing legal disputes involving HR matters, including coordination with outside counsel and internal documentation
- Handle sensitive situations with composure, discretion, and sound judgment while protecting both the company and the integrity of the process
Compliance

- Maintain policies, personnel files, and documentation that hold up to legal scrutiny
- Partner with Safety, Finance, and Operations to ensure people-related processes are practical, compliant, and consistently executed

- Assess team capability honestly and make recommendations on team structure as the function evolves
Talent Acquisition & Culture
- Build a practical recruiting engine for field technicians, warehouse employees, logistics roles, skilled hourly labor, and corporate positions
- Improve job postings, candidate flow, interview discipline, hiring manager accountability, and onboarding experience
- Help shape a culture of accountability, consistency, field support, and practical problem-solving across a distributed workforce.
- Build and own employer branding efforts — LinkedIn presence, careers site content, job postings
- Partner with operations leaders to forecast workforce needs and reduce reactive hiring
Finance Partnership
- Partner with Finance on compensation planning, job architecture, bonus programs, headcount planning, workforce cost reporting, and labor-related analysis
