Are you an HR superstar with solid experience as a real ‘business partner’? Do you thrive on a challenge to raise the bar in a fast-paced manufacturing environment? Do you want to come and work for the front-runner in the floating off-shore wind supply chain? If the answer is YES, then we have the perfect job for you!
Our Synthetic ropes business operates in Coatbridge and Grangemouth, with a small technology centre in Dundee. We are looking for a seasoned HR Business Partner to work as part of the Plant Management team, supporting the transformation and growth of this strategically important business unit. Employee engagement & communications, succession & talent management, resourcing & development/upskilling are high on the agenda, so previous demonstrable experience of these areas is crucial.
Ninjas Socials
All it takes is one person to step forward to start a movement 🌊 🌊 🌊
Since March last year we have held more than 200+ Community Meet-Ups and there are another 10 in the diary.
✅ Unashamedly non-corporate
✅ No agenda
✅ Absolutely no creeping death intros
✅ No sales pitches or slide decks
✅ Just show up and be yourself
THIS is how we do networking HR Ninjas style!
💫 Lovely to see lots of new friendships being made and we couldn't do any of this without our team of Community Host Volunteers who are bringing the Ninja magic locally; creating these wonderful opportunities for our members to connect.
And, by the way, for nothing in return other than the satisfaction of knowing they are making a difference!
🤐 (Although we are toying with the idea of commissioning some special Ninja Host pins - but let's just keep that between us - don't want to create mass hysteria! We all know what happened last time we mentioned the word #ninpin 🤣 )
