Your new company
Our client is a world-leading manufacturing business with a strong engineering heritage and a focus on innovation. This division supports customers across the construction, agriculture, utilities and marine sectors. They operate across multiple international sites and are proud of their sustainability, reliability and high-performance reputation. Employees love their supportive work culture, fair compensation and the chance to work on diverse projects and thus, gain valuable experience.

Your new role
This job will see you taking the lead on a portfolio of ER/IR cases including, but certainly not limited to, disciplinaries, performance management and grievances. In these roles, there's always an element of reporting and advising your management and colleagues of any trends that you spot and this could lead to you developing new processes and policies. You'll be hands-on in advising, training, and coaching your line managers on how they deal with the performance, absence, etc. of their teams.
Your job will be 100% based on site in Peterborough.

What you'll need to succeed
Our client has asked for an experienced HR professional, ideally coming from the manufacturing or industrial sector. A professional qualification would be nice, but it's not essential, but what is important is a strong track record in employee/industrial relations, so if that isn't detailed on your CV, can I suggest that you include your experience in a cover letter or add in an "additional information" section on your CV?
