Today
Our client is a fast-growing startup in Miami and on a mission to modernize how projects get built and need a people-first HR leader to grow with them. This is a rare opportunity to join at the ground level, work side-by-side with the company president, and genuinely shape our culture, our people strategy, and the HR function itself.
If you're the kind of HR professional who lights up when handed a blank page then this is your role.
What you'll do...
Audit, build, and refine HR policies, procedures, and employee handbooks from the ground up
Lead full-cycle recruiting for technical and skilled-trade roles — from sourcing to offer
Partner directly with the company president on workforce planning and organizational growth
Develop onboarding, performance, and retention programs that scale with the business
Ensure HR compliance with federal, state, and construction-industry-specific regulations
Build the infrastructure for a growing HR division — laying the foundation for your future team
What we're looking for...
5–8 years of progressive HR experience, ideally with exposure to construction, skilled trades, or blue-collar industries
Proven ability to build HR programs and policies from scratch — not just maintain existing ones
Experience recruiting for technical, field-based, and specialized roles
Entrepreneurial mindset with a high tolerance for ambiguity and a bias toward action
Strong knowledge of employment law and HR compliance fundamentals
Excellent judgment, discretion, and communication skills at every level of an organization
SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, or PHR certification a plus
Why join our client...
High-impact, high-visibility role — your work will shape the company directly
Close partnership with leadership from day one
Build the HR function on your terms as they scale
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in human resources
5+ years' experience in Human Resources
Strong recruiting and demonstrated ability to improve talent acquisition strategies
Demonstrated expertise training managers and employees
Strong organizational, critical thinking and communications skills
