Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire
SITE HUMAN RESOURCES OFFICER Manufacturing / Engineering Environment 45,000- 50,000 + Benefits + Career Development Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire On-Site HR Generalist Full Employee Lifecycle Responsibility Standalone Site HR Role This is not a traditional HR role operating within a highly corporate environment supported by large HR teams and shared service centres. Instead, this is a highly operational, site-based HR Generalist opportunity embedded directly within a growing engineering and manufacturing business operating across advanced technology and high-reliability sectors including defence, aerospace and advanced engineering. The organisation has experienced significant growth and operational investment in recent years and is continuing to scale capability, strengthen processes and invest in its people infrastructure. As a result, there is now a requirement for a visible, relationship-focused and commercially aware HR professional capable of supporting managers and employees across the full employee lifecycle. This is a fully on-site role based in Tewkesbury and will suit somebody who genuinely enjoys being operationally involved, visible across the workforce and closely engaged with employees and leadership teams on a day-to-day basis. Working closely with the Group HR Director, who remains highly operational within the business and is regularly on site, the Site Human Resources Officer will operate as the standalone HR presence supporting the day-to-day HR function across the site. The role combines operational HR support with significant HR administration responsibility and will support a broad range of HR generalist activities including: employee relations, recruitment and onboarding, absence management, performance management, employee engagement, HR administration and documentation, HR reporting and systems, manager coaching and support, and continuous improvement of people processes. The successful individual must therefore be comfortable operating within a standalone HR environment and genuinely enjoy the practical and administrative aspects of HR alongside employee interaction and operational support. The role will also provide involvement in several ongoing organisational development and people initiatives including apprenticeship programmes, employee engagement activity, leadership capability development, Investors in People implementation and wider workforce improvement projects. The organisation operates within a practical, fast-paced and highly collaborative manufacturing environment. Approximately 70% of the workforce operates within blue-collar production functions across a 24/7 operation and managers value visible, approachable and pragmatic HR support. This is therefore not a role suited to individuals seeking a heavily remote, purely strategic or highly process-driven corporate HR environment. Instead, the successful candidate will become: the day-to-day HR presence on site, a trusted support partner to operational managers, a visible point of contact for employees, and an important contributor to workforce engagement, communication and organisational development. The successful individual will need to be: approachable, organised, resilient, commercially aware, highly collaborative, and comfortable operating within a fast-moving manufacturing setting where priorities can shift quickly. Candidates are likely to have gained previous HR generalist experience within manufacturing, engineering, logistics, industrial, technical or similarly operational environments and must hold CIPD Level 5 qualification as a minimum. This opportunity offers unusually broad operational exposure and genuine long-term development potential for an ambitious HR professional seeking progression within a growing engineering-led group. The successful individual will receive direct mentoring and support from an experienced Group HR Director while gaining exposure to a broad range of commercially focused HR activities and projects. The remuneration package includes: 45,000- 50,000 salary dependent on experience Pension Life assurance Wellbeing support EV salary sacrifice scheme Cycle to work scheme Employee assistance programme Ongoing career development and mentoring This is an excellent opportunity for a highly operational HR professional who enjoys visible, relationship-led HR and wants to build a long-term career within a growing manufacturing and engineering organisation. #(phone number removed)
