    If you’re an HR professional who thrives in a fast-paced, hands-on environment and loves the balance of tech-savvy tasks and people-centered impact—this role is calling your name.

    We’re a financially sound, multi-site manufacturing company looking for a dynamic HR & Benefits Specialist to support both shared HR functions and site-level HR needs at our Salisbury facility. You’ll partner directly with the VP of HR and play a key role in making our workplace run smoothly, compliantly, and with heart.

    • A high level of discretion, emotional intelligence, and an ability to juggle multiple priorities with grace

    • Comfortable working both independently and as part of a collaborative HR team

    Sounds like your next move? Apply today and bring your talent, tech skills, and HR know-how to a team that’s as committed to people as it is to performance. EOE
