HR Administrator

HR Administrator

Permanent Manufacturing & Engineering

We're working with an established engineering organisation looking to add an HR Administrator to its team.

This is a varied opportunity for someone building their HR career who wants exposure beyond basic administration. You'll support employees and managers across the full employee lifecycle, covering HR records, recruitment, payroll coordination, absence management and employee relations.

What you'll be doing

• Maintaining accurate employee records and HR system data
• Preparing contracts, offer letters, induction documentation and employee change letters
• Supporting recruitment, including applications, CV shortlisting and interviews
• Acting as a first point of contact for day-to-day HR queries
• Coordinating information with payroll covering pay, benefits and employee changes
• Supporting sickness absence reviews with managers
• Assisting HR colleagues with lower-level disciplinary and grievance matters
• Coordinating occupational health requirements and new-starter medical assessments

What we're looking for

You'll ideally have previous HR administration experience and be confident working independently in a busy operational environment.

Experience within manufacturing, engineering or another industrial setting would be particularly useful, although it isn't essential.

You'll need strong attention to detail, good communication skills and the confidence to work with employees and managers at different levels.

A CIPD qualification or current CIPD study would be advantageous.

You'll also need to be comfortable working within a live manufacturing environment and travelling between sites when required.

Package

The organisation offers a competitive salary alongside 26 days' annual leave plus bank holidays, enhanced pension, life assurance, family-friendly policies, employee support services and ongoing professional development.
