Brunswick Lift Rentals is growing and remains committed to providing customers with reliable service and equipment solutions. With experience providing top-brand aerial lift and material handling equipment, we continue to grow through expanded offerings, strong customer relationships, and value-added service.

We are looking for an organized, approachable, and resourceful HR Generalist / Recruiter to lead recruitment for positions across the entire company while providing day-to-day HR generalist support specifically to employees and leaders in our East Region. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys connecting with candidates across a broad range of roles and becoming a trusted, responsive HR partner to a defined region.

What You'll Do

As the HR Generalist / Recruiter, you will manage full-cycle recruitment across the company and provide practical HR support throughout the employee lifecycle for the East Region. You will partner with hiring managers across all locations while working closely with East Region leaders, employees, payroll, and external partners to deliver consistent recruitment and HR support.

• Manage full-cycle recruitment for hourly, salaried, operational, technical, sales, and corporate positions across the entire company, from intake and advertising through screening, interviews, references, offers, and pre-employment requirements.
• Partner with hiring managers across all regions and departments to clarify role requirements, develop effective job postings, establish recruitment plans, and maintain timely candidate communication.
• Source candidates using appropriate job boards, professional networks, referrals, community contacts, and direct outreach, adapting recruitment strategies to different locations and labour markets.
• Maintain consistent recruitment processes, documentation, candidate records, and status reporting across the company.
• Coordinate offer documentation and pre-employment requirements company-wide, and support a smooth handoff to the appropriate regional or departmental contact for onboarding.
• Provide first-line HR guidance to East Region employees and managers on policies, workplace practices, attendance, performance documentation, and routine employee-relations matters, escalating complex or sensitive issues as appropriate.
• Coordinate onboarding and employee changes for the East Region, including new-hire information, orientation support, transfers, promotions, leaves, and departures.
• Maintain accurate and confidential East Region employee records, HR system data, templates, trackers, and required documentation.
• Support East Region benefits and payroll administration by collecting accurate employee information, communicating changes, and coordinating with internal and external partners.
• Assist with East Region training, engagement, recognition, policy implementation, compliance activities, reporting, and other HR projects that support a consistent employee experience.
• Monitor company-wide recruitment activity and East Region HR service needs, identify trends or process gaps, and recommend practical improvements.
• Build trusted working relationships across the company while maintaining clear boundaries between the company-wide recruitment mandate and the East Region HR generalist mandate.

What Makes You Successful

• You can manage a company-wide recruitment portfolio while remaining responsive to the day-to-day HR needs of the East Region.
• You communicate clearly and professionally with candidates, employees, managers, and external partners across locations and time zones.
• You are organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable balancing multiple vacancies, employee matters, deadlines, and competing priorities.
• You use sound judgment, protect confidentiality, and understand when an East Region matter should be escalated or coordinated with broader HR leadership.
• You take ownership, follow through on commitments, and look for practical ways to improve both recruitment and regional HR processes.
• You work independently while contributing to a collaborative, people-first HR team.
