  • Contract Type:
    permanent
Leading global energy storage business at the forefront of lithium-ion battery manufacturing and system integration. Backed by a major international group, they are now launching a 2M sq. ft. production and warehouse facility in Phoenix, Arizona. This is a flagship site supporting the rapid growth of utility-scale energy storage across North America.

The business is scaling fast, processes are still being shaped, and HR plays a critical role in getting it right from day one. Strong focus on safety, operational excellence, and delivering fully integrated storage solutions into a market that’s only going one way.

The role:

This is a hands-on HR Senior Generalist position with a strong recruitment focus, particularly in the early stages of site ramp-up.

You will sit at the heart of the operation supporting hiring, stabilising the workforce, and acting as the on-the-ground HR partner during a critical growth phase.
  • Partner with hiring managers to define roles and drive recruitment activity (high-volume + specialist)
  • Manage candidate flow: screening, interviews, offers, and onboarding coordination
  • Work closely with agencies to secure top talent quickly and efficiently
  • Maintain accurate tracking and reporting across hiring activity
  • Support onboarding and offboarding processes
  • Act as a key point of contact for employee relations on site
  • Support a shift-based workforce (attendance, overtime, day-to-day issues)
  • Collaborate with HQ HR on more complex cases and broader HR initiatives
  • Contribute to building HR processes and structure as the site scales
Essential requirements:
  • 5+ years HR Generalist experience
  • 3+ years recruiting experience (ideally high-volume)
  • Experience in a manufacturing, warehouse, or industrial environment
  • Strong understanding of employment law
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • Comfortable being on-site and hands-on with the workforce
  • Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
Desirable requirements:
  • Experience with HRIS systems (ADP preferred)
  • HR certification (PHR / SHRM-CP)
  • Experience supporting site start-ups or scale-ups
Why this role is interesting:
This isn’t a steady-state HR role.
You’re walking into a site that’s being built, a workforce that’s being shaped, and a business that needs HR to step up and lead from the front.

If you’ve ever wanted to:
  • Be part of a major battery manufacturing build-out in the US
  • Move beyond process and actually shape how HR operates on the ground
  • Have real ownership across both talent and employee experience
