Job Description

Grow your HR career where people, forests and purpose come together.

We’re looking for an HR Business Partner, PRT South to join our People and Culture team and support our U.S. operations while based in Washington, North Carolina. Reporting to the Director, People and Culture, this newly created role is an opportunity to make an impact in an organization where people are passionate about our forests, committed to safety and proud of delivering exceptional quality. You’ll join a small, tight-knit and dedicated HR team to provide hands-on support across the employee lifecycle - from recruitment and onboarding to employee relations, performance, policies, compensation and HR programs.

This is a role for someone who enjoys doing as much as advising. You might be writing a job description or offer letter, improving an HR process, or coaching a manager through a complex situation. You’re comfortable getting into the details, building trusted relationships and stepping in wherever needed to help the team and our U.S. operations succeed.

Travel to other PRT U.S. sites will be required as business needs arise.
