This is a hands-on, visible role where you’ll partner closely with operational leadership while also contributing to broader regional HR initiatives.

• Support leadership development and workforce planning
• Contribute to wider EMEA HR projects and initiatives

Requirements

• Previous HR experience within manufacturing, engineering, industrial, or operational environments
• Strong HR generalist background
• Confident working autonomously within a smaller site environment
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Commercially minded and practical in approach

Why apply?

• High-visibility role with genuine influence
• Opportunity to work closely with European leadership
• Mix of operational and strategic HR responsibility
• International exposure alongside local site ownership
• Strong opportunity for future progression and wider regional involvement

If you’re looking for an HR role with greater visibility, broader exposure, and the opportunity to make a genuine impact within a manufacturing environment, we’d love to hear from you.
