  • Support resourcing and workforce planning, helping to attract, develop and retain great people
  • Drive engagement and performance, turning employee feedback into action
  • Support project teams with day-to-day HR needs and offer expert advice to line managers
  • Lead and contribute to key HR initiatives — from reward and talent to D&I and succession
  • Track people data and trends to guide better decisions and keep your finger on the pulse

Your experience?

  • Experience in a similar HRBP role, ideally within construction, engineering, or a fast-paced operational setting
  • Strong knowledge of employment law and HR best practice
  • Great communication skills — able to engage and influence at all levels, from site teams to senior leaders
  • Calm under pressure with a pragmatic, solutions-focused approach
  • Strong organisational skills with the ability to juggle multiple priorities
  • Confident managing employee relations cases independently
  • A collaborative, down-to-earth style — someone who builds trust and gets things done
  • Degree in HR, Business or similar
  • CIPD qualification (or working towards it)
  • Familiarity with HR systems and reporting tools

In return, you will have the opportunity to work with a highly successful Construction/Engineering firm offering hybrid working, a competitive salary and plenty of L&D to continue to grow as a HR professional.
