YOUR NEXT OPPORTUNITY:

The Human Resources Partner is the day-in, day-out HR partner for a defined client group — typically a region, business unit, or functional area at Rosendin. This role owns the people-related execution and judgment work within that client group based on established HR/Company established policies, procedures, practices, and guidelines, partnering directly with front-line and mid-level leaders on employee relations, performance management, manager coaching, and the operational delivery of HR programs throughout the overall employee lifecycle.
