HR Advisor

Engineering & Manufacturing Environment

Uxbridge On‑site (first 6 months)

Fantastic development opportunity – supportive, energetic HR team – real impact, real variety

We’re partnering with a long‑established engineering and manufacturing organisation in Uxbridge to recruit a proactive, confident, and solutions‑focused HR Advisor. This is a newly created role designed to strengthen a growing HR Business Partner model and support a busy, fast‑paced manufacturing site.

This is an excellent opportunity for:

• an HR Assistant / Coordinator ready to step up, or
• an HR Advisor looking for a broader role, more autonomy, and a genuinely collaborative environment.

If you enjoy variety, pace, and being close to the operation this is the place to thrive.

HR Advisor -  The Role

Reporting to the Senior HR Business Partner, you’ll work closely with a small, high‑energy team of BPs who support ten operational departments across the site. Initially, much of your focus will sit within manufacturing and engineering, where there’s significant activity and a backlog of ER cases to support.

You’ll be involved in:

Employee Relations

• Supporting managers with disciplinary & grievance cases, absence management and conduct issues
• Note‑taking, coordinating meetings, and where appropriate leading cases
• Advising managers using updated policies, procedures, and best practice

Recruitment & Resourcing

• Working alongside the Recruitment Specialist
• Supporting interviews, screening, and candidate experience
• Helping shape recruitment processes for a growing, evolving organisation

Engagement, Data & Analytics

• Helping run engagement initiatives following survey results
• Supporting engagement surveys pulse checks, and exit interview analysis
• Identifying data trends and sharing insights with the BP team

Generalist HR Support

• Policy updates and guidance
• Supporting managers across multiple business units
• Contributing to ongoing development of the HRBP model
• Being a go‑to person for solutions and practical support

 What Makes This Role Unique?

• Huge scope for development – the organisation is growing fast, introducing structure and modernisation. You can make a real mark.
• Highly visible role – not a corporate cog. Leadership and owners are frequently on site and accessible.
• Genuinely collaborative HR team – no barriers, no hierarchy walls, just supportive colleagues with energy and drive.
• Busy, real‑world HR – lots of ER, coaching managers, and helping embed best practice.
• Engineering & manufacturing environment – ideal for someone who likes being close to operations and enjoys a “hands‑on” workforce.
• Early finish on Fridays.

HR Advisor – About you

• HR experience in engineering, manufacturing, logistics, or a similar operational environment
• Someone who can juggle multiple priorities and move quickly
• Confident communicator who can hold their own with managers
• A proactive, solutions‑focused person who sees what needs doing and gets stuck in
• Comfortable in a non‑corporate, evolving, friendly environment
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
• CIPD not essential – experience and mindset count more
