HR Business Partner (Infrastructure & Projects)
Location: London, Hybrid working
Contract Type: Permanent or Temp to Perm opportunity
Salary: up to £70,000
The Opportunity
Are you a seasoned HR professional who thrives in a high-stakes, entrepreneurial environment? We are seeking a proactive HR Business Partner to join a global powerhouse in the professional services and infrastructure sector.
The Role: Impact and Accountability
In this role, you aren’t just following a playbook. You are the expert in the room. You will act as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, managing the full lifecycle of the employee experience with a specific emphasis on complex Employee Relations.
Key Focus Areas:
* ER Specialism: You will take full end-to-end accountability for complex ER cases (grievances, disciplinaries, performance). As there is no central case management team, you will be the lead architect in navigating risk and delivering solutions.
* Strategic Partnership: Develop and implement people strategies aligned with commercial priorities for the infrastructure division.
* Talent & Succession: Partner with operational stakeholders to identify future leaders and drive robust succession planning.
* Culture & Engagement: Design and execute action plans that foster a high-performance, inclusive culture.
* Coaching: Provide day-to-day leadership and mentorship to an HR Advisor, ensuring excellence across the People Plan.
The Ideal Profile
We are looking for a \"self-starter\" who can hit the ground running without needing their hand held.
* Experience: 5–10 years of experience as an HR Business Partner.
* The \"ER Streak\": You must be exceptionally confident in managing complex ER matters independently, with a keen eye for risk mitigation.
* Sector Background: Experience in Construction, Real Estate, Engineering, or the Public Sector is a major plus, though we are open to backgrounds in other highly regulated, fast-paced environments.
* Qualifications: CIPD Level 5 minimum.
* Mindset: You are resilient and adaptable. You thrive in an \"act first, detail later\" entrepreneurial culture but understand the importance of corporate governance and professional approval paths.
Why Join This Team?
* This organization is in a period of rapid, exciting growth. While the environment is fast-paced and the workload is significant, you will be part of a dynamic team that values integrity and proactive problem solving. You’ll be working alongside progressive leaders who actively seek HR’s input on business-critical decisions.
