POSITION SUMMARY: 

The People & Culture Generalist is a standalone HR role supporting all HR functions across Ebco and ACSI. This is a broad, compliance-heavy portfolio covering labour relations, collective agreement management, health and safety, WorkSafeBC, investigations, benefits, policy, and HR operations — alongside active participation in recruiting during periods of elevated hiring volume. The right candidate brings both the technical depth to handle a unionized environment and the versatility to operate across two distinct organizations.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Recruitment & Talent Acquisition

• Manage full-cycle recruitment for an assigned portfolio of roles across Ebco and ACSI — posting, sourcing, screening, interviewing, reference checks, offer coordination, and onboarding.
• Conduct active sourcing through LinkedIn, job boards (Including Manufacturing Job Site and Indeed), employee referrals, and direct outreach to identify qualified candidates.
• Write compelling, market-focused job postings; maintain postings across all active channels and ensure accuracy and currency.
• Conduct prescreening calls, coordinate and participate in interviews, administer assessments as required by hiring managers, and manage candidate communications throughout the process.
• Coordinate and track the background check and reference process; prepare offer letters and employment documentation.
• Maintain candidate data, track pipeline status, and contribute to recruiting metrics (time-to-fill, source effectiveness, offer acceptance rates).
• Maintain constant communication with hiring managers to understand current and upcoming hiring priorities and adjust sourcing strategy accordingly.
• Manage the new hire onboarding process — coordinate activities prior to the first day, ensure documentation is complete, and deliver or coordinate new hire orientation.

Labour Relations & Compliance

• Act as the primary liaison between the company and union representatives; manage grievances, ensure collective agreement compliance, and maintain constructive union relations.
• Interpret and apply the collective agreement to daily HR and operational decisions; advise managers on collective agreement obligations and boundaries.
• Support preparation for collective bargaining; maintain records and documentation required for labour relations.
• Conduct workplace investigations — harassment, discrimination, and conduct matters — with structured, documented, legally defensible process.
• Administer ESA obligations including terminations, notice periods, pay in lieu calculations, and Records of Employment.

Health, Safety & Training

• Co-chair the Joint Health and Safety Committees (JHSC) for both Ebco and ACSI — a legislated obligation. Conduct monthly inspections, facilitate meetings, follow up on corrective actions, and complete annual program reviews.
• Coordinate mandatory training and maintain audit-ready certification records: forklift, aerial work platform, fall protection, welding respiratory fit tests, audiometric testing, vision testing, first aid certification, WHMIS, and new worker orientation.
• Manage WorkSafeBC obligations including Form 7 filings, incident investigations, claims management, and return-to-work programs.

HR Operations

• Administer employee benefit plans for Ebco and ACSI — enrollment, mid-year changes, annual renewal, employee queries, and coordination with benefit carriers and brokers.
• Maintain HRIS data integrity, employee records, and reporting across both legal entities.
• Manage LMIA and immigration support processes in coordination with external representatives.
• Support employee relations matters including performance management, PIPs, accommodation requests, disability management, and manager coaching.
• Conduct compensation benchmarking and contribute to annual salary review processes.
• Administer vendor relationships including benefits broker, background check providers, and coveralls/PPE supplier.
• Administer the Social Committee including event planning, budget management, and employee communication.

Policy

• Lead the current full refresh of all HR, health and safety, and workplace policies — drafting, coordinating legal review, rollout, and employee communication.
• Maintain ongoing policy management; update policies in response to legislative changes or operational requirements.

QUALIFICATIONS:

Education & Experience:

• Post-secondary education in Human Resources, Business Management, or a related field. 
• 3+ years of progressive HR experience with demonstrated competence across recruitment, labour relations, health and safety, and HR operations.
• Experience in a unionized manufacturing or industrial environment is required.
• Experience managing workplace investigations, JHSC obligations, and WorkSafeBC claims is required.

 Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:

• Strong working knowledge of BC employment legislation: Employment Standards Act, Workers Compensation Act, Human Rights Code, and Privacy Act.
• Demonstrated ability to interpret and apply collective agreements.
• Sound judgment in handling sensitive and confidential employee matters.
• Strong HRIS proficiency and advanced Microsoft Office skills.
• Effective communicator across all levels of the organization — from shop floor to executive team.
