Job description

HR ManagerLeicester (Head Office)Full-time (40 hours) – flexibility to consider £45,000p.a

We’re partnering with a well-established, nationwide engineering business to recruit an HR Manager for a highly operational, hands-on role.

This is not a purely strategic position — it’s ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same. With engineers making up the majority of the workforce and constant hiring needs, you’ll be at the heart of keeping the people function running smoothly.

The Role

This is a busy, end-to-end HR role with a strong focus on:

Recruitment & Onboarding

  • Managing daily recruitment activity for engineers across the UK
  • Coordinating interviews, vetting candidates, and issuing offers
  • Preparing contracts, onboarding and induction packs
  • Maintaining systems and ensuring smooth candidate journeys
  • Managing a constant flow of vacancies – there’s rarely a quiet day

Training & Compliance

  • Overseeing training compliance (H&S, working at height, asbestos, etc.)
  • Managing the training matrix and tracking expiries
  • Booking and coordinating courses
  • Ensuring all certifications and licences are up to date

HR Operations

  • Supporting probation reviews and performance processes
  • Managing employee lifecycle administration (including leavers)
  • Maintaining HR systems and documentation

Employee Relations & Advisory

  • Supporting managers with ER cases (disciplinaries, probation issues, etc.)
  • Advising on best practice and employment law
  • Updating policies, handbooks, and ensuring compliance

About You

  • Strong HR generalist background (ideally at Advisor/Manager level)
  • Comfortable in a high-volume, operational environment
  • Confident managing recruitment and onboarding at pace
  • Good working knowledge of UK employment law
  • Able to juggle multiple priorities and stay organised
  • Comfortable in a casual, down-to-earth culture
