HR Manager

Pay: $80,000–$100,000 per year

If you're an experienced HR professional who enjoys being the go-to resource for employees and leaders, improving processes, and helping build a strong workplace - this could be a great fit.

At NIX Construction, our HR Manager serves as a key HR resource across the organization, supporting both employees and leadership in a wide range of Human Resources functions. You'll have the opportunity to make an impact across onboarding, employee relations, benefits, compliance, performance management, compensation, training, HR systems, and employee engagement.

This isn't a role where you'll focus on just one area of HR. We're looking for someone who enjoys variety, takes ownership, and can balance the day-to-day needs of employees with the bigger-picture needs of the organization.

You'll work closely with company leadership and field management to strengthen HR practices, support employees, improve retention and engagement, and help ensure our people practices support the company's operational goals.

• Conduct compensation research, market benchmarking, and internal pay analysis to support competitive and equitable pay decisions
• Maintain HR policies, employee records, job descriptions, standard operating procedures, and other HR documentation
• Monitor employment law and regulatory changes and help ensure company HR practices remain current and compliant
• Administer HR systems, reporting, workflows, employee records, and program tracking
• Coordinate employee training, leadership development, engagement initiatives, recognition programs, and company events
