The successful candidate will support clients by advising, coordinating, coaching, and providing recommendations on a variety of human resource functions and related operations.

Clients consist of unionized and non-union employee workforces, so you will need to be familiar with processes for both employee groups.

This role has an enhanced focus on workforce initiatives and people management, including investigations, performance management, grievances, conflict resolution, and support of workforce-related initiatives.

To be effective in this role, you will have a proven track record of fostering and maintaining positive and collaborative relationships with team members, operational leaders, HR networks, Centres of Expertise, and Union Representatives.

You are adaptable, with the ability to prioritize and multitask while working effectively both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced and progressive environment.

You will interpret client needs, assess requirements, and identify solutions to non-standard issues and requests, including engagement of HR specialists as required.
