Be the HR partner that keeps our business moving.

At Premier Restoration Hawaii, we restore homes, businesses, and communities after fire, water, mold, and storm damage. Our work moves fast because our customers need us when they're having one of the worst days of their lives.

We're looking for an experienced HR Generalist who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys getting work done. This isn't a desk job where you'll only process paperwork. You'll recruit great people, onboard new hires, support leaders through employee relations issues, conduct workplace investigations, administer leaves of absence, and help ensure our HR operations run smoothly every day.

• Providing day-to-day HR guidance and support to employees and managers
• Processing employee changes, maintaining HR records, and ensuring compliance
• Supporting benefits administration, audits, and HR projects
• Partnering with operational leaders to keep HR moving and employees supported

What We're Looking For

We're less concerned with job titles and more interested in how you work.

You'll be successful in this role if you are:

• A self-starter who follows through without constant direction
• Organized and able to manage multiple priorities
• Responsive, dependable, and action-oriented
• Comfortable having difficult conversations with professionalism and empathy
