Are you a people-first HR professional who thrives on variety, building connections, and making a real impact?

We’re recruiting on behalf of a respected national player in the construction and engineering sector. They’re growing—and with that growth comes a brilliant opportunity for a confident, hands-on HR Advisor to join the team.

This isn’t your typical desk-bound HR job. You'll be out and about, visiting sites across the UK (travel fully expensed or a company vehicle provided), getting to know teams, and acting as a vital link between the people on the ground and the HR function at HQ.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Acting as the go-to HR contact for employees and managers across various UK sites.

  • Championing employee engagement and culture initiatives.

  • Supporting and advising managers on everyday HR issues—think ER, absence, performance, and wellbeing.

  • Leading or contributing to exciting people projects, including:

    • Employee Engagement Programme – driving feedback, connection, and positive change.

    • Management Academy – shaping and launching a development programme for site leaders.

    • Company Values Rollout – embedding new values across all locations.

Who You Are:

  • An experienced HR Advisor or People Partner with a strong generalist background.

  • A natural relationship-builder – confident talking to everyone from groundworkers to directors.

  • You’ve worked in construction, engineering, manufacturing, or similar fast-paced, operational environments.

  • Comfortable travelling UK-wide, getting into PPE, and visiting muddy, real-world sites.

  • Passionate about creating a workplace where people feel heard, valued, and supported.

What You’ll Get:

  • A genuine voice at the table and room to grow.

  • A collaborative, no-nonsense team who care about doing HR the right way.

  • Flexible working
