Our People Advisors are a knowledgeable (and busy) bunch. Managing a HR Assistant, they are hands on with all things people related on site. One minute they can be dealing with an ER issue and the next they can be offering guidance and coaching to the site leadership team. It's a fast paced and varied role, but one thing remains consistent, and that's the quality of service to both our internal and external customers.

Support, coach and challenge line managers with absence, disciplinary and grievance issues
Identify development opportunities to improve soft skills and build future talent
