You will own the full employee experience and local HR operating model—from workforce planning and hiring readiness through development, performance, employee relations partnership, mobility, and exit. In this 24x7, safety- and customer-focused environment, you will maintain a strong onsite presence, coordinate delivery with HR Centers of Excellence and centralized Employee Relations, and, where assigned, lead onsite HR team members.
