Join Our Team at Smurfit Westrock!
Are you an experienced HR Manager looking for a new role that offers autonomy, challenge and the opportunity to make a difference to employee engagement and culture change?
Are you wanting a role where you are part of a site leadership team contributing to business performance, strategy and long-term future growth?
Are you comfortable working within a fast-paced, operational environment that requires collaborating with multiple stakeholders including union representatives, senior leadership and a wider HR network across the UK?
If yes, this role might be the one for you!
About Us
A little bit about us to pique your interest further…
Smurfit Westrock is a global leader in sustainable paper and packaging, we operate in 40 countries with over 500 packaging converting operations and 63 paper mills, and employs approximately 100,000 colleagues worldwide. We are dedicated to creating efficient and scalable paper and packaging solutions and delivering meaningful value for our shareholders, customers and employees. Whilst you may not have heard of us before reading this advert, you will most certainly have seen our packaging products on many supermarket shelves; some of the recognisable everyday items that are transported in our packaging include eggs, pot noodles, yoghurts, pizzas and beer to name but a few. Our products are circular by nature which means we are committed to being a sustainable business in a broadest sense: from reducing our environmental impact to investing in the communities in which we operate.
The Role
The role of site HR Manager is an independent and stand-alone role reporting to the General Manager of our Weston super Mare manufacturing site. You will be the key lead on people related matters for the site including culture change, employee engagement and wellbeing, employee relations, people development, policy deployment and ensuring data compliance.
Whilst this role is stand-alone, you will also benefit from being part of a wider HR network who are available to offer support with a ’phone-a-friend’ willingness to help when required. Both the Divisional HR team and the UK HR team meet on a regular basis to share insights, best practice and offer guidance, so you are never truly flying solo!
As this role is supporting our Weston super Mare manufacturing site which employs 180 colleagues operating on a rotating shift-pattern, your key day to day contacts will be operational leaders and customer facing teams, with your direct peer group consisting of the Operations Director, Financial Controller, Sales Director and Capacity & Planning Manager.
We are looking for someone who is resourceful and resilient, and who has great interpersonal skills at all levels of the operation. Someone who is not afraid to challenge and speak their mind, but is also happy to collaborate with others to find the best solutions to the daily challenges that occur.
Please note that whilst we do offer some flexibility to work remotely, this role does require an on-site presence Monday to Friday as a preference.
What We Offer
*Competitive salary, annual bonus & benefits, including annual leave, pension, and a Cycle to Work scheme
*Ongoing training and development opportunities
*24/7 confidential support for you and your family
*Flexible working options and family-friendly policies
*Free on-site parking
*Subsidised canteen
*Guaranteed interview for candidates meeting essential criteria (Disability Confident Employer)
Ready to make an impact? Apply today and help us build a sustainable future together.
Smurfit Westrock reserve the right to only shortlist candidates who meet both the Essential and Desirable Criteria.
We are an equal opportunities employer, and we welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of their sex; religious or similar philosophical belief; political opinion; race; age; sexual orientation; or, whether they are married or are in a civil partnership; or, whether they are disabled; or whether they have undergone, are undergoing or intend to undergo gender reassignment.
We practice equality of opportunity in employment and select the best person for the job.
