HR Business Partner

About Our Client

Our client is a unified family of industrial services businesses, committed to being the partner of choice for customers. The company is comprised of distinct, strategic business groups that provide a wide range of industrial services and equipment. They are part of a larger family of companies, an organization with over $132B in assets and 5,400 employees. As they continue to grow and evolve, they are aligning around a unified vision—one company, one team, committed to being the partner of choice for their customers.

The Opportunity

Our client is seeking a dynamic HR Business Partner to join a growing team in Dallas, TX. As a key liaison between the Human Resources department and business units, you'll be a strategic advisor and operational executor across the full HR lifecycle. This role blends core HR Generalist responsibilities with strategic business partnering to enhance team member engagement, leadership capability, and organizational effectiveness. You'll join a small but mighty HR team at a pivotal moment as we align our HR processes, implement a new HRIS, and build a truly unified HR function. This is a hybrid role based in Dallas, TX.

What You Will Do

• Serve as the primary HR point of contact for approximately 270 employees across 20 branches in Texas and the Gulf Region.
• Provide expert guidance on employee relations, including investigations, disciplinary actions, and terminations.
• Partner with leaders to align HR strategies with business objectives, providing coaching on performance management, succession planning, and organizational design.
• Lead or support HR projects, such as the implementation of a new HRIS system (Workday), and contribute to training and cultural development initiatives.
• Conduct stay/engagement interviews, manage exit interviews, and oversee leave of absence processes.

Who You Are

• You have a bachelor's degree from a brick-and-mortar college in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field.
• You have a minimum of 5  years of progressive experience, demonstrating a strong foundation as an HR professional with an emphasis on employee relations. 
• You possess a proven ability to build strong relationships and influence leaders in a fast-paced, "blue-collar" or industrial environment.
• Communication: You can talk shop with field technicians on the floor and pivot instantly to delivering a strategic briefing to the President. You possess the "code-switching" ability to be respected by both.
• Operating in the Gray: We aren’t looking for a "policy police" officer. You must be comfortable navigating ambiguity, assessing risk versus reward, and advising leaders based on business logic and intuition—not just what’s written in a handbook.
• You have a high level of discretion and can handle confidential information with the utmost professionalism.
• A PHR or SPHR certification is highly valued.
• Experience with modern HRIS systems like Workday and familiarity with ADA accommodations and leave administration is a plus.

Ideal Candidate Profile This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is influential and isn't afraid to push back professionally when needed. The ideal candidate is a team player who builds strong relationships and can operate in the "gray" areas where policies aren't always a perfect fit. A strong cultural fit is the most critical factor for success in this role. We are looking for a mid-career professional with at least 5 years of progressive HR experience.

Why Join This Team?

As part of our client's family of companies, you'll be joining an organization that believes in investing in its team members. You'll have the opportunity to work with great leaders and be part of an organization that values teamwork and professional development. We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including ESOP and a Quarterly Bonus opportunity.
