You will serve as the People Operations Generalist for the Ferndale facility, owning the complete employee lifecycle and day-to-day HR operations. This is a hands-on, visible role that bridges factory floor and office environments.
Key responsibilities include:

- Execute offboarding: final pay, equipment return, exit paperwork, system access removal
- Receive, document, and escalate employee concerns and complaints

- Maintain complete and accurate employee records, I-9s, and employment documents
- Support benefits enrollment and changes; answer employee questions
- Explain policies clearly to employees and supervisors; apply consistently
- Prepare regular people reports and resolve data discrepancies
- Improve forms, checklists, and SOPs as the team grows
You will work Monday through Friday, days, with flexibility to cover early, late, or weekend hours for onboarding and floor support.
As Nox opens new plants, each site will have its own Generalist, and you will help establish the standard for the organization.
