We’re looking for an HR Generalist to join our growing engineering consulting firm and help deliver an outstanding employee experience from hire to retire.

In this role, you’ll work closely with our HR Manager and serve as a trusted point of contact for employees across the organization. You’ll touch every part of the employee lifecycle, from onboarding new hires to benefits and leave administration, reporting, and offboarding—making a real impact every single day.

• Serve as the initial point of contact for employee leave requests and support LOA administration.
• Respond to employee questions related to HR policies, benefits, and general employment matters.
• Prepare ad hoc HR reports and data summaries; respond to internal RFIs.

• Manage offboarding processes, including system updates, documentation, and exit coordination.
• Support campus recruiting efforts, including career fairs and campus events.

• Have experience in a general HR role—this is a great next step for an HR Assistant or Coordinator ready to grow.
• Have Basic knowledge of employment laws
• Are comfortable working in HRIS systems (ADP experience is a big plus).
