Salary: $0 - 0 /
Job Type: Full Time
Category: Human Resources

Position Summary <br><br>Your mission as HR Manager is to work
with plant management to develop employee capabilities and
improve the performance of the operation by facilitating the
implementation of key HR initiatives. <br><br>The Opportunity
<br>Leverage your aggressive, but approachable leadership style
to drive operational improvements at a rapidly growing, $1 .6B
market leader. <br><br>Our requirements <br>* Bachelor's degree.
<br>* Strong generalist HR background (5-10 years) that includes
management of ER, compensation, benefits administration,
training, and recruitment in a manufacturing environment. <br>*
Experience managing people. <br>* Outstanding communication
skills. <br>* Strong results orientation and a history of driving
positive change with measurable results. <br>* Experience as a
member of a management team. <br><br>The following description is
quite detailed. Our intention is to provide some true insight
into the opportunity so that you can make a well-informed choice.
<br><br>Overview <br>If you prefer the plant floor to a desk and
are looking for an environment where your impact is visible and
immediate, consider James Hardie. As the $1 .6B market leader in
fiber-cement technology, we are both a highly evolved and
well-established heavy manufacturing company, and a fast-paced
entrepreneurial organization with a culture of constant
innovation and aggressive growth. Innovation is vital to
remaining at the forefront of our dynamic, emerging industry, and
maintaining our pre-eminent position in fiber-cement. We maintain
a high level of investment in research and development to stay
ahead of our competitors in areas such as product quality and
production efficiency. We compete to win, and every year we
redefine what it means to be #1: we have doubled in size every
four years, out-sell our competition 3::1, are opening three new
production lines this year, and have several more scheduled to
open before 2010. As a result of our aggressive growth, we will
have opportunities for HR Managers at locations across the US.
All of these locations are fiber-cement manufacturing facilities
that operate 24x7x365, and they range in size from 100 to almost
300 non-union employees. Our oldest plant was built in 1989; all
of our facilities are state-of-the-ad and highly automated,
incorporating hydraulic pumps and motors, pneumatic tools and
machines, conveyors, high pressure water splitters, and
autoclaves. <br><br>Position Details <br>Human Resources at James
Hardie is not simply a service for our employees, but rather an
active driver in our continuous improvement as a company. We look
beyond the traditional scope of HR to play a proactive role in
leading new initiatives that enable our business to continue its
rapid and profitable growth. Notably, we are a non-union
environment, and strive to remain so. <br><br>Your mission as HR
Manager is to work with plant management to develop employee
capabilities and improve the performance of the operation by
facilitating the implementation of key HR initiatives.
<br><br>Reporting to the Plant Manager, you will have dotted line
accountabilities to our US Manufacturing HR Manager. Compensation
begins at $70K with 25% bonus potential, but is based on the
candidate's experience and background. What distinguishes this
position from a typical generalist role are the strategic
initiatives involved and the demanding nature of our culture.
This is not an administrative role; you will have the support of
an HR Representative to manage payroll, administer the health
plan, and other similar duties. You will join us in the
implementation stage of four key initiatives aimed at bringing
consistency and best practices to four areas of HR: <br>*
performance management: <br>* recruiting/selection; <br>*
training: and <br>* development. <br>You will concentrate
primarily on the implementation of these programs and on
fostering our culture of high performance, continuous improvement
and results orientation. For example, our training and
development initiatives are aimed at developing internal talent
for advancement. Through a mix of one- on-one coaching and
classroom training, you and the training staff will help the
supervisors become more effective leaders, educate the staff on
new technologies, and give department managers the tools to run
safer, higher yield operations. <br>In addition to these primary
accountabilities, you will devote a portion of your time to:
<br>* employee relations; <br>* employment law; <br>* workers
compensation issues; and <br>* union avoidance. <br><br>Keys to
Success <br>Naturally, your ability to successfully implement the
new HR initiatives and partner with the plant manager and team to
improve the overall plant performance will be the key to your
success in this role. Rather than dictating policy, you will use
expert communication and training skills to ensure that the plant
team internaliz(truncated...)
