Head of People

Northumberland | Full Time

I'm delighted to be recruiting on behalf of a growing, engineering-led business that operates across transport, logistics, infrastructure and renewable energy sectors.

With ambitious growth plans and a strong people-first culture, they're now looking to appoint a Head of People to lead and shape the people agenda during an exciting period of expansion.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced HR professional who enjoys balancing strategic thinking with hands-on delivery. You'll be trusted to make things happen, influence senior stakeholders, and build a people function that supports a fast-moving, commercially focused business.

The Role

Reporting directly to the leadership team, you'll take ownership of all people-related activity across the business, including:

  * Leading and developing the people strategy to support growth.

  * Owning the full employee lifecycle, from recruitment through to exit.

  * Managing employee relations and employment law matters.

  * Coaching and supporting managers to build high-performing teams.

  * Driving engagement, wellbeing and culture initiatives.

  * Overseeing HR systems, payroll inputs, benefits and people reporting.

  * Building scalable processes, policies and frameworks as the business grows.

About You

We're looking for someone who:

  * Has experience as a Head of People, Head of HR, Senior HRBP or HR Manager.

  * Is CIPD qualified (or brings equivalent experience).

  * Has strong employment law expertise.

  * Is strategic in their thinking but equally happy getting into the detail.

  * Thrives in a fast-paced, evolving environment.

  * Can juggle multiple priorities and adapt quickly.

  * Works autonomously and takes ownership of outcomes.

  * Is commercially minded, pragmatic and solutions-focused.

  * Isn't afraid to roll their sleeves up and do whatever is needed to get the job done.

What's on Offer?

  * A genuinely influential role with direct access to senior leadership.

  * The opportunity to shape and build a growing people function.

  * Significant autonomy and ownership.

  * A collaborative, down-to-earth culture.

  * Competitive salary and benefits package.
