HR & Recruitment Manager

Location: Wicklow / North Wexford
Salary: Highly Competitive
Employment Type: Full-Time | Permanent | Fully On-Site

The Opportunity
This is a standalone HR leadership role offering genuine influence, autonomy and direct exposure to senior decision-makers within a growing engineering organisation in the South East.
You will operate as the central HR lead for the business — trusted, visible and embedded in daily operations — with the opportunity to shape recruitment strategy, strengthen people processes and build structured frameworks that support long-term growth.
If you’re looking for a role where you can make a tangible impact, build something properly, and work closely with leadership rather than sit in a layered corporate structure, this offers exactly that.

The Position
Reporting directly to senior leadership, you will take ownership of HR operations and talent acquisition across the organisation.
A significant focus will be recruitment and workforce planning — ensuring the business attracts and retains the right technical and operational talent to support project delivery.
Alongside recruitment, you will oversee the full employee lifecycle, including onboarding, compliance, performance management and employee relations.
This role requires someone comfortable working fully on-site in a practical, operational environment where credibility and presence matter.

Key Areas of Responsibility:
Talent Acquisition & Workforce Planning

• Lead end-to-end recruitment across technical, operational and support functions
• Partner with leadership to forecast hiring requirements
• Develop sourcing strategies and manage external agency relationships
• Oversee structured onboarding and talent pipeline development

HR Operations & Employee Relations

• Advise managers on performance, absence and conduct matters
• Manage employee relations issues confidently and independently
• Oversee onboarding, probation and exit processes
• Maintain compliant and accurate HR documentation

Compliance & Governance

• Ensure policies align with Irish employment legislation
• Support audit and regulatory requirements
• Maintain training and compliance records
• Strengthen HR systems and governance structures

Culture & Development

• Act as a visible HR presence within the organisation
• Support managers in building accountable, high-performing teams
• Contribute to skills development and succession planning
• Promote a professional and positive workplace culture

About You:

• Qualified in HR or a related discipline (CIPD preferred)
• Strong experience in a hands-on HR generalist or HR leadership role
• Proven recruitment experience within technical, construction or industrial sectors
• Confident managing employee relations independently
• Practical, organised and commercially aware
• Comfortable operating in a fully on-site environment
