We are delighted to be partnering with a progressive, high-performing organisation at the heart of advanced manufacturing in the Mid-West who are looking to add a HR Business Partner to their team on a permanent basis.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy being close to the action, and want to make a tangible difference on the ground, this role offers exactly that.

As a trusted partner to manufacturing leaders and supervisors, you will act as the bridge between people strategy and operational execution. This is not a desk-based HR role, you’ll be highly visible across production environments, building relationships, influencing decisions, and supporting leaders in real time.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Be the Face of HR on the Floor

  • Partner with Leaders
  • Support Talent & Growth
  • Enable Performance & Development
  • Use Data to Drive Decisions
  • Lead Through Change
  • Ensure Best Practice

What You Bring:

  • 5+ years’ experience in an HR Business Partner role (manufacturing, engineering, or similar environment highly desirable)
  • Proven experience supporting frontline, shift-based or operational workforces
  • Strong knowledge of Irish employment law
  • Degree in HR, Business or related discipline; CIPD (or equivalent) advantageous
  • Exceptional relationship-building and influencing skills
  • Comfortable operating at pace with a hands-on, solutions-focused mindset
  • Strong coaching capability, particularly with frontline leaders
  • Data-driven, with the ability to translate metrics into action
  • Experience with HR systems; HRIS implementation exposure a plus
  • A collaborative team player who enjoys contributing to broader HR initiatives

Why This Role?

  • High Visibility & Impact – Your work directly shapes culture and performance on the ground
  • Career Growth – Opportunity to operate at true HRBP / Senior HRBP level
  • Collaborative HR Team – Be part of a forward-thinking, supportive function
  • Strong Package – Very competitive salary, bonus, pension, healthcare & additional benefits
  • People-First Culture – A business that genuinely invests in engagement, wellbeing, and development

Ready to Make an Impact?

If you’re an experienced HRBP who enjoys being close to the business, influencing leaders, and driving real cultural impact, this is a fantastic opportunity to take your career to the next level in a thriving Mid-West organisation.
