HR Generalist – Manufacturing

A growing food packaging manufacturing startup is launching operations in Southeastern Pennsylvania and is seeking an HR Generalist to help build foundational people and administrative processes from the ground up.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys wearing multiple hats, working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment, and helping shape HR practices during an exciting startup phase.

What You’ll Do

• Support end-to-end recruiting and onboarding for hourly and salaried manufacturing employees
• Assist with core HR administration, employee records, and compliance documentation
• Help establish and maintain initial HR policies and processes as the organization grows
• Serve as a point of contact for employee questions related to HR and workplace policies
• Support general office and administrative operations as needed
• Partner closely with leadership to adapt processes as business needs evolve

What We’re Looking For

• HR experience within manufacturing (food packaging or related manufacturing environments preferred)
• Comfort working in a startup or site build-out environment where structure is still being developed
• Bachelor’s degree in HR, Business, or related field preferred
• Ability to manage both HR and administrative responsibilities with minimal direction
• Strong organizational skills with a proactive, hands-on mindset
• Professional communication skills and the ability to work cross-functionally

Why This Role

• Be part of launching a new U.S. operation for an international organization
• Opportunity to help shape HR infrastructure from day one
• Broad exposure across HR, administration, and manufacturing operations
• Long-term growth potential as the site scales

Note: This role will evolve as the business grows, so flexibility and adaptability are key.

If you’re excited by the opportunity to help build something from the ground up in a manufacturing environment, we’d love to connect.
