Job description
HR Generalist
Location: Eden, North Carolina
Schedule: Full-time, onsite
Employment Type: Direct hire
FLSA Status: Exempt
We’re hiring an experienced HR Generalist to help build the team and HR operations for a new manufacturing facility in Eden, North Carolina.
This person will handle a broad range of hands-on HR responsibilities, but two areas are especially important:
Payroll processing experience is required and is a deal breaker for this role.
Strong recruiting and onboarding experience is essential.
As the facility prepares to begin production in the second quarter of 2027, the HR Generalist will help recruit and may onboard employees in groups of approximately 20 to 30 at a time. This person will be involved throughout the hiring process, including job postings, candidate screening, interviews, pre-employment coordination, onboarding, and new-hire documentation.
While the plant is being outfitted and the team is being built, the HR Generalist will also serve as the front reception presence for the facility. This includes greeting visitors, managing sign-in procedures, answering incoming calls, and helping create a professional and welcoming environment. The reception component is expected to decrease once the facility is fully operational.
This is a hands-on, onsite opportunity for someone who’s comfortable wearing multiple hats and helping establish HR processes within a growing manufacturing operation.
