Human Resource Director

Human Resources Director | Builder Wanted



• Some organizations inherit a fully built HR department.
• Others build one.

This role is for the second type. 

A growing national construction services organization is seeking a Human Resources Director who thrives as a department of one. This leader will design, build, and operate the HR function across a multi company environment while partnering closely with executive leadership.

No one here takes themselves too seriously, but the work is a different story. The company operates in an industry where deadlines matter, quality matters, and customers depend on the work being done right the first time. The internal culture reflects that reality. People here work hard, solve problems quickly, and maintain a sense of humor along the way.

If you prefer large HR teams, narrow job scopes, or heavy bureaucracy, this role will likely not be the right fit.

If you enjoy building systems, solving real problems, and helping leaders grow organizations responsibly, this opportunity may be worth exploring.

The Mission - Build and lead a practical, scalable human resources function that supports the growth of a multi state organization while ensuring compliance, operational excellence, and a strong employee experience.

What You Will Own - This role carries full responsibility for the HR function.

Key areas include

• Recruiting strategy and execution
• Benefits administration and vendor partnership
• HRIS management and process accuracy
• Employee relations and investigations
• Compensation and performance management
• Policy development and compliance across multiple states
• Supporting leadership with sound people strategy

You will partner closely with the executive team and serve as the primary advisor on people-related matters.

What Success Looks Like - Within the first 12 to 18 months, the right leader will

• Establish scalable HR systems and processes
• Strengthen recruiting and onboarding capability
• Improve consistency in employee relations practices
• Maintain strong compliance across multiple jurisdictions
• Provide leadership with clear people-related insights

The Environment - The organization operates in a fast-moving industry where teams are expected to take ownership of their work and deliver results.

The Culture Values

• Accountability
• Practical problem solving
• Strong communication
• Respect for the customer and the work

People enjoy working together, maintain a sense of humor, and take pride in doing difficult work well.

What Helps Someone Succeed Here - The leaders who thrive in this environment tend to share several traits

• Comfort operating independently and making decisions
• Strong understanding of employment law and compliance
• Ability to build structure without unnecessary bureaucracy
• Confidence working directly with executives
• A pragmatic approach to solving people-related challenges

Experience supporting construction, manufacturing, or multi-state operations can be helpful, but is not required.

Additional Details

• Executive-level HR leadership role
• Multi-state workforce
• Competitive compensation with benefits and bonus opportunity
• Office-based role ( remote work is counterproductive to this employee-facing role )
  

Further details about the organization will be shared with qualified candidates during the interview process.
