This is a dedicated administrative role, ideal for someone who enjoys consistency, a steady pace, and supporting operational excellence in a position that focuses on reliable contribution rather than rapid promotion. What You’ll Do · Maintain organized and up-to-date employee records, including digital employee files. · Support the day-to-day administration of the Human Resources Information System (HRIS) to ensure data accuracy and integrity. · Administer the Learning Management System (LMS), including course assignments, tracking, and reporting. · Manage the company training calendar and invitations. · Compile and prepare reports on employee data from multiple systems and sources. · Maintain and update People Team content on the company intranet (SharePoint). · Draft and prepare a variety of HR-related letters, communications, and documents. · Assist with reconciliation and processing of HR and benefits-related invoices. · Distribute standard HR and benefits email communications. · Coordinate the logistics and storage of materials used for career fairs and recruiting events across the company. · Track employees’ professional registrations, certifications, and renewal deadlines. · Organize and coordinate the company’s employee service award program. · Create, maintain, and update internal HR forms, templates, and process documentation. · Support various stages of the employee onboarding process to ensure a smooth new hire experience. · Administer required safety trainings and acknowledgements for employees. · Coordinate the distribution and collection of employee surveys, and assist with compiling results. · Provide administrative support for HR initiatives and special projects across HR, Benefits, Learning & Development, and Talent Acquisition. What You Bring · Proficient in all related administrative skills, i.e., document preparation, grammar, spelling, formatting, proofreading, and the use of various office equipment. · Relevant experience providing administrative and/or executive support, with a demonstrated ability to manage tasks and responsibilities effectively. · Exceptional written and verbal communication skills will be key to successfully collaborating with the team and interacting with all levels of staff. · Strong organizational skills and meticulous attention to detail are crucial for maintaining accuracy and efficiency. · Comfortable using technology and able to quickly learn new tools; experience with Microsoft Office, especially Excel, is required. This role will work in the Human Resources Information System (HRIS), Learning Management System (LMS), SharePoint, Teams, Templafy, Deltek, and various third-party portals, but being willing to learn new programs is more important than prior experience with any specific system. · Ability to maintain confidentiality and handle sensitive information with discretion is a fundamental requirement for this role.
