Human Resources & Operations Manager
Boutique Engineering & Construction Recruiting Firm | On-Site
Who We Are
We are a boutique staffing and recruiting firm focused exclusively on the engineering and construction space. We’re intentionally different from large, transactional agencies — our success is built on relationships, accountability, and high performance.
We operate with a work-hard / play-hard mindset. We move fast, hold high standards, celebrate wins, and value people who take ownership of their work. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for someone who wants to help build the internal foundation of the business, not just support it.
The Role
The Human Resources & Operations Manager is a high-impact, highly visible role within our organization. This position sits at the intersection of people operations, payroll, financial oversight, and employee development, partnering closely with leadership to ensure the firm runs efficiently, compliantly, and strategically.
This is not a siloed HR role. You’ll wear multiple hats, influence how the company scales, and help build a robust internal organization that attracts and retains top talent. It’s ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys variety, and wants to grow alongside a scaling firm.
Key Responsibilities
Human Resources & Payroll
- Own all employee and contractor payroll, reporting, and reconciliations (ADP experience preferred)
- Manage onboarding and offboarding for employees and contractors, including documentation, system setup, and compliance
- Administer background checks, drug testing, licensing, education verification, and reference checks
- Manage workers’ compensation and unemployment claims
- Oversee multi-state HR compliance, registrations, and licensing requirements
- Maintain HR records, internal reporting, and company-wide communications
Financial & Operational Oversight
- Manage operational and financial duties similar to a controller, including payroll accounting and internal reporting
- Support QuickBooks processes, reconciliations, and coordination with leadership and external partners
- Oversee contractor payroll processes and compliance requirements
- Provide accurate reporting and insights that support leadership decision-making
Training, Learning & Development
- Own the planning, scheduling, and execution of all internal training and learning & development initiatives
- Lead new-hire orientation and support ongoing employee development programs
- Partner with leadership and consulting teams to support internal training needs
- Continuously improve onboarding experiences, training materials, and internal processes
Additional Responsibilities
- Create and post internal job openings as the organization grows
- Serve as a trusted, professional point of contact for employees, contractors, and external partners
- Represent the firm with discretion, integrity, and professionalism
- Contribute to building a positive, accountable, and high-performing internal culture
What We’re Looking For
- 3+ years of experience in Human Resources and Payroll (required)
- Strong attention to detail with excellent organizational and communication skills
- Analytical mindset and comfort handling confidential information
- Experience working in a small, growing, or entrepreneurial organization preferred
- Ability to manage multiple priorities in an evolving, fast-paced environment
- Someone who takes ownership, solves problems, and wants to be part of building something meaningful
Technology & Tools
- ADP Payroll (preferred)
- Google Sheets / Excel
- QuickBooks
Why This Role Is Different
This role offers real influence, visibility, and growth. You’ll be trusted to run core functions of the business, help shape our internal culture, and play a meaningful role in how the company scales. If you’re looking for more than a traditional HR role — and want to be part of a firm that values drive, relationships, and results — this is it.
