Human Resources Intern

Role Overview:
We are seeking a motivated, detail-oriented Human Resources Intern to join our team. In this role, you will gain hands-on experience in the "full-cycle" of HR within a fast-paced manufacturing environment. You will assist with everything from recruiting the next generation of our production team to ensuring our current employees are supported through benefits and training.

Key Responsibilities:

Recruiting & Talent Acquisition: Post job openings on local boards and social media; screen resumes for production and technical roles; and coordinate interview schedules between candidates and hiring managers.

Onboarding & Lifecycle: Prepare new-hire orientation packets; assist with I-9 verification and background check processing; and help transition new employees from their first day to their first 90 days.

Data & Compliance: Maintain accurate digital and physical employee files; update our internal HRIS (Human Resources Information System) with new hire data; and assist with basic payroll data entry (e.g., tracking hours or leaves).

Employee Engagement: Help organize monthly "Town Hall" meetings, safety award programs, or employee appreciation events (e.g., company BBQs or holiday parties).

Safety & Compliance: Assist the HR Manager in tracking safety training completion and ensuring labor law posters and company policies are up-to-date and visible on the production floor.

Qualifications & Skills

Education: Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Associate’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Psychology, or a related field.

Communication: Strong written and verbal skills; ability to communicate effectively with both executive leadership and production floor staff.

Technical Savvy: Proficiency in Microsoft Office (especially Excel and Word) is required. Familiarity with LinkedIn or basic HR software is a plus.

Discretion: High level of integrity and the ability to handle confidential sensitive information (e.g., salaries, medical leaves).

Grit: Comfortable working in a manufacturing office environment where you may occasionally need to walk through the production area.

What You’ll Gain

Direct Mentorship: Work directly under an experienced Senior HR Manager who can provide career guidance.

Broad Exposure: Unlike large corporations where interns are siloed, you will see every aspect of HR, from payroll and legal compliance to culture, building.

Local Impact: Help a growing local business find the talent it needs to keep the machines running and the community working.
