We are recruiting a Senior HR Advisor/ Business Partner for our Engineering SME client. You’ll be building, improving, and embedding meaningful people practices from the ground up in a company that values autonomy, innovation, and a strong, human-first culture.

You’ll be the go-to expert on all things operational HR, while partnering closely with the Chief of Staff on strategic people projects. This is your chance to influence and shape the employee experience in a company where HR really matters—and where your work will be seen, valued, and make a difference every day.

What you’ll be doing:

•    Own the full employee lifecycle—from contracts and onboarding to exits and everything in between.
•    Coach and empower managers to lead their teams with confidence.
•    Handle day-to-day HR operations while keeping us compliant, fair, and future-ready.
•    Support wellbeing, engagement, and inclusion initiatives that help people thrive.
•    Streamline HR processes and systems so they scale with the business.
•    Help design and deliver learning and development experiences.
•    Keep policies sharp, relevant, and legally sound.
•    Support the roll-out of rewards, benefits, and performance programmes.

What we’re looking for:

•    3–5 years in a generalist HR role, preferably in a fast-paced SME or start-up
•    Confident with employee relations, compliance, and HR systems (bonus if you’ve used Citation/Atlas!)
•    Experience supporting line managers through the tough stuff—grievances, absence, performance, etc.
•    A calm, clear communicator and trusted advisor to employees and managers alike
•    Proactive, autonomous, and solutions-focused—you spot the gaps and fix them
•    CIPD Level 3–5 or equivalent experience

Key benefits:

•    Private healthcare including dental, optical & more
•    Flexible working & enhanced family leave
•    Share options, monthly bonus & reward schemes
•    25 days holiday + bank holidays + up to 10 extra days with service
•    Bring your dog to work
•    Subsidised café lunches & free parking.
•    Cycle to Work Scheme, pension, and much more
