We’ve built a team that looks out for each other and takes pride in doing things the right way. Around here, it’s not just about getting the job done well, it’s about working with good people and creating an environment where effort is noticed, progress is rewarded, and there’s always room for a laugh.

How you'll get to contribute

As the first HR person in the company, you’ll fill a key expertise gap to support our growth, but this isn’t your typical stuffy HR role.

• Help create a fun and supportive work environment where team unity, pride, and morale thrive by driving engagement, managing company swag inventory, and being the down-to-earth, protective go-to who looks out for everyone and makes sure all feel valued and taken care of.
• Grow our workforce by expanding community engagement, scheduling and coordinating job fairs, screening applicants, and supporting the creation of a high school scholarship program
