Are you an HR professional who wants to make a real impact?

At Axiom Group Inc., we're looking for an experienced Senior HR Generalist who is ready to take ownership of HR operations in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys being both strategic and hands-on. You won't just administer HR programs-you'll help shape them.

As our Senior HR Generalist, you will work closely with senior management on recruitment, employee relations, performance management, compliance, workforce planning, retention, culture, and organizational growth. You'll have the autonomy to build processes, solve problems, and make a visible impact across the organization.

• Ensure compliance with applicable employment legislation and regulations.
• Draft employment contracts and other HR documentation.
• Support corporate HR programs including succession planning, career development, rewards & recognition, and employee engagement.
• Share HR best practices and help standardize processes across the organization.

Health & Safety / Workers' Compensation

• Chair the Joint Health & Safety Committee (JHSC).
• Support workplace accident investigations and workers' compensation matters.
• Maintain required safety and workers' compensation records and reporting.
• Help ensure compliance with applicable health & safety requirements.

Benefits & Employee Experience

• Administer employee benefit programs and provide recommendations for improvements.
• Support employee engagement activities and company events.

Why This Role?

This isn't a role where you'll simply follow established processes.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Own the HR function and make meaningful decisions.
