HR Manager - Build Your Career in a Growing International Business

Location: West Yorkshire
Full-time | On-site

Some HR roles are about maintaining systems and enforcing policy.

This one is about helping a business grow by developing its people.

We're a privately owned international engineering and equipment business based in West Yorkshire. As the company continues to grow globally, we're looking for an HR Manager who wants to grow with it.

This role will suit someone who is early in their HR leadership journey - someone capable, commercially aware, and ready to take on broader responsibility in a fast-moving business.

You'll have the chance to own the HR function, work directly with leadership, and shape how the business hires, develops, and supports its people.

The Role

You'll manage the day-to-day HR function while helping the company improve how we recruit, develop and retain great people.

This isn't a heavily layered corporate HR environment. We're looking for someone practical, approachable and solutions-focused who enjoys working closely with managers and teams.

You'll be trusted to bring ideas, solve problems, and help the business build a strong and positive working culture.

What You'll Be Doing

Running the day-to-day HR function

Supporting managers with employee relations and people development

Improving recruitment and onboarding

Helping build training and development pathways

Supporting managers with performance and team development

Maintaining sensible, practical HR policies and compliance

Helping the business scale while keeping a strong team culture

Who This Role Will Suit

This role is ideal for someone who wants to step up and grow their HR career inside a successful and expanding company.

You might currently be:

A Senior HR Advisor ready for your first HR Manager role

An HR Business Partner or HR Manager in a smaller company

An HR professional looking for a role with more ownership and influence

We're looking for someone who is:

Practical and commercially minded

Comfortable working closely with managers and leadership

Able to balance people focus with business needs

Interested in building and improving systems rather than just maintaining them

Experience

2+ years of experience

CIPD qualified or working towards qualification

Experience supporting managers in a commercial environment

Strong communication and judgement

What You'll Get

Competitive Salary

Pension scheme

25+ days holiday

The opportunity to develop into a broader leadership role as the business grows

Direct exposure to senior leadership and strategic decisions
