Excellent opportunity with a high-growth and very interesting global company. This role can be a remote contract anywhere in the US or Canada OR perhaps a permanent role for someone living within 4-hour drive of Childress, Texas, (such as Dallas-Fort Worth).  Reporting into a great boss and working on a tight-knit Human Resources team. Amazing culture, high-growth and innovative company resulting in complex and interesting work, generous compensation, chance to build out new HR processes, programs, and policies.

Who- the Company:

Our client is a successful and innovative company working in a very interesting industry at the intersection of construction and technology. The North American head office is located in Western Canada, the global headquarters is based overseas, and there is a growing operation in Childress, Texas. Company is growing quickly.
 

What- the Role:

On behalf of our client, SWIM is seeking a new People & Culture Manager on a contract basis. If the contractor is based within a reasonable driving distance from b, they can get serious consideration for the permanent role which is open or could perhaps even be considered for the permanent role right-off-the-bat.  If based elsewhere in the US or Canada, chance for converting to permanent full time employment is quite low.

The new Manager will report directly into the VP of People & Culture (Canada-based) and will collaborate closely with the Senior Manager P&C (Canada-based) and the Manager Community Relations (Texas-based). This role involves employee relations (directly supporting 50+ employees in Texas who are mostly in construction and engineering roles, and a handful who are in corporate roles), employee handbook revision and creation, HR policy revision and creation, and supporting other HR projects as needed. This is a contract role and is anticipated to have an approximately 2-month term to start, while the company searches for a new permanent P&C Manager in the Childress, Texas area.
 

Who- the Candidate:

We are seeking candidates with at least 5 years (preferably 8+ years) of relevant and progressive experience HR generalist experience, with specialization in employee relations, HR policies, and creating employee handbooks for different jurisdictions. Candidates MUST have HR experience supporting American employees working in US operations- preference for Texas, New York, and California (in that order). Experience with Canadian HR is an asset, not required. Ideally candidates will have used a cloud-based multi-module HRIS.  

We are seeking excellent communicators (written, verbal, non-verbal) who love building relationships across a business and really getting to know the operations and front-line employees. Strong collaboration and “building-out-HR” skills are all important, as is a consultative and adaptable nature. We are looking for people who are excited about working in a high change, innovative, and growing company.  Experience working in the construction and/or technology sectors is a bonus, not required.  SHRM designation is an asset.
 

Where:

• Option 1- Based in or close to Childress, Texas. Able to travel to the Childress operation ~2 days a week. Good chance for serious consideration for permanent role.
• Option 2- Based within a few hours of Childress, Texas, able to drive to Childress operation at least 2 times a month. Decent chance for consideration for permanent role.
• Option 3- Based elsewhere in Canada or the US, able to perhaps travel to Childress once every 2 months or so. Very low chance to convert to permanent role.

How Much:

Competitive hourly consulting rate, commensurate with depth and relevance of HR skills and work experience- likely in the range of $40 to $65 an hour, with a sweet spot of $50 to $60. Open to employees or incorporated consultants. For candidates living in/near Childress, please let us know your salary and total compensation expectations- on a permanent basis, this role would have a base salary of around $100,000 to $120,000 USD, plus bonuses, health benefits, professional development support, etc.

Fulfilling HR leadership opportunity with a very well-established private organization based in Surrey. Leading a team of 2-3 direct reports and reporting directly into the CEO. Very well-rounded role touching on almost all areas of HR, with an emphasis on employee engagement, employee lifecycle, employee & labour relations, learning & development, organizational development, performance management, and leadership coaching. Robust total compensation package.

Who- the Company: 

Our client has a long and successful history in BC. The company employs approximately 600 people across the province and is headquartered in Surrey. The leadership and company owners truly believe that their people/employees are their #1 asset, and there is deep belief from the top in the importance of a well-run human resources function. The company has many long-tenured and loyal employees.

What- the Role:

Our client seeking a new Director of Human Resources who will be the top leader of the HR function for the company. Reporting into the CEO (who strongly believes in the value of HR) and directly leading/mentoring a team of 2 or 3 direct reports. The Director will lead almost all areas of HR (although not currently leading payroll) for an employee population of ~600 across the province of BC. A main focus over the next couple years is defining and improving the employee lifecycle (recruitment to onboarding to training to development to succession planning to exit/retirement/offboarding). The Director of HR will also improve upon existing HR policies, processes, compliance, and systems. There is a unionized employee workforce, but there are other leaders within the company who own the labour relations at a deeper level. SWIM will provide interested candidates with a thorough job description.

Who- the Candidate:

We are looking for candidates with at least 10 years progressive human resources work experience, including several years in people management/departmental leadership. Some form of post-secondary education related to HR is required, and CPHR is preferred.

Qualified candidates for this role will excel at leadership coaching, performance management, and change management. We’re looking for a confident, competent, and compassionate Director of HR who enjoys partnering with senior leadership and who excels at collaborating cross-departmentally to drive the business forward through employee engagement. Candidates will have a long-term vision and will not be deterred by short-term challenges and experiencing some failure on the road to success. Some folks have been with the organization for decades and are learning what good, innovative HR looks like. Ideally the new Director of HR will be someone who is constantly keeping up-to-date on “best practices”- in HR, leadership, coaching, business management- whether that be through reading, conferences, podcasts, networking, etc. We are looking for an inspiring leader who can be hands-on while working towards the big picture, and who has a “teach them to fish, don’t just give them the fish” approach to HR.

How Much:

Competitive base salary commensurate with level of HR skills, work experience, and qualifications- sweet spot of $120,000 to $130,000, with a full range of $115,000 to $140,000 (please note that for consideration at the very top end, candidates will need to have all the desired qualifications and many years of relevant HR experience). The company will provide their new Director of HR with a solid overall compensation package, including a performance-based bonus, a pension plan, professional development support, solid health/dental/vision benefits, and other perks.   

Where:

The company is headquartered in Surrey. The Director will mostly be based at the corporate office but will travel as needed to other work sites in Greater Vancouver and beyond (transportation costs all covered). Mostly an in-office role, but with occasional work-from-home flexibility as life requires. Ideally candidates will be based in or near Surrey, so that the office location is viewed as a plus.
