Permanent HR Officer role with a large employer covering sites in NI and ROI. Excellent benefits and pension!

Your new company

A well-established, multi-site organisation with a strong operational culture and ambitious growth plans, offering the chance to build broad, commercial HR experience in a visible, hands-on role across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

Your new role

As HR Officer, you will support a large, multi-site employee population across Northern Ireland down as far as Dublin, partnering closely with line managers to deliver practical, legally compliant HR guidance. Covering multiple locations across the region, you will play a key role in driving consistent people practices, building management capability, and managing employee relations activity. This is a field-based role with regular travel, working as part of a wider HR team while taking real ownership for your region.

What you'll need to succeed

  • Proven experience in a generalist HR Officer or HR Advisor role, ideally within a fast-paced, multi-site environment
  • Strong employee relations capability, with confidence managing investigations, disciplinaries, grievances, and absence cases
  • Experience coaching and influencing line managers to improve standards and performance
  • Strong attention to detail and comfort using HR systems to maintain accurate data and support reporting
  • A working knowledge of employment law and a practical, solutions-focused approach to risk and compliance
  • Full driving licence, access to a car, and flexibility to travel across the region, including occasional overnight stays

What you'll get in return

In return, you will receive a competitive salary up to £40,000, alongside a strong benefits package, including 1 day per week working from home. This includes a 7.5% matched pension, 31 days’ annual leave rising with service, life assurance, an employee assistance programme, and employee discounts. You will also be supported with travel expenses, including mileage and accommodation.
