Shape the Future of People and Performance

We're looking for an experienced and commercially minded HR Business Partner to join our Construction business, supporting the East Region.

This is a true business partnering role, working closely with the Regional Senior Leadership Team to deliver people solutions that drive operational performance, organisational effectiveness and sustainable business growth. You'll be part of a wider HR team but have significant autonomy, acting as the trusted HR lead for your region and influencing decisions at senior leadership level.

If you're a confident HR generalist who thrives in a fast-paced operational environment, enjoys solving complex people challenges and has a strong track record of delivering change, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

• Partnering with Regional Directors and senior leaders to shape and deliver the regional people strategy.
• Acting as a trusted advisor, providing pragmatic and commercially focused HR guidance.
• Diagnosing business and people challenges, identifying root causes and implementing effective solutions.
• Leading and supporting organisational change initiatives, restructures and transformation programmes.
• Driving engagement, talent management, succession planning and workforce planning activities.
• Influencing leadership teams to build high-performing, inclusive and accountable cultures.
• Using people data and insights to identify trends, risks and opportunities.
• Supporting leaders through complex employee relations matters and organisational change.

What We're Looking For

We're seeking a confident and credible HR professional who can quickly build trust and influence decision-making at all levels.

You'll bring:

• Strong HR Business Partnering experience supporting multi-site operations in a fast-paced environment, and while experience in construction / built environment would be valuable, we are equally interested in candidates who can bring fresh perspectives from other industries.
• A successful track record of delivering organisational change and transformation initiatives.
• Experience partnering with senior leadership teams and influencing business decisions.
• Excellent stakeholder management and relationship-building skills.
• Strong coaching, challenge and influencing capability.
• The ability to balance strategic thinking with a practical, hands-on approach.
• Commercial awareness and the confidence to translate business challenges into people solutions.
• Sound knowledge of employment law and HR best practice.
• CIPD qualification (or equivalent experience).

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to play a key role in one of the UK's leading construction and development businesses, helping shape the future of our people and culture.

You'll be empowered to make a real impact, working with an experienced HR team whilst having the autonomy to lead and influence across your region.
