Enertech FM
Enertech FM is a growing engineering and technical services business. We deliver high quality facilities management and engineering solutions across the UK, and as we continue to expand, we're investing in the people infrastructure to match.
This is an exciting time to join us. We're building a stronger, more consistent approach to people management, and this role sits at the heart of that work.
THE OPPORTUNITY
This is a broad, hands on generalist role for an experienced HR professional who is comfortable working in a fast paced, operationally driven environment. You will support the business across the full employee lifecycle from employee relations and recruitment through to payroll administration and HR operations.
You will work closely with managers across our sites, building trusted relationships while providing consistent, commercially grounded HR advice. This is a role that requires confidence, resilience and good judgement. You will need to be comfortable navigating complex people dynamics, handling difficult conversations professionally, and applying policy consistently.
You will not always have the luxury of a structured environment or a clear playbook. What you will have is the opportunity to make a genuine difference to how HR supports this business.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Business Partnering
- Build strong, credible working relationships with managers across the business, including those who may be new to working closely with an HR function.
- Provide practical, commercially focused HR advice and support on a day to day basis.
- Coach managers on people management, performance, and employee engagement.
- Support organisational growth and change initiatives as the business continues to develop.
Employee Relations
- Manage first line ER caseload independently; disciplinaries, grievances, capability, and absence management from initial advice through to conclusion.
- Handle sensitive and sometimes difficult conversations with professionalism and pragmatism.
- Navigate complex interpersonal dynamics, particularly within small, close knit teams.
- Ensure consistent application of company policies and UK employment legislation.
- Promote early, informal resolution of workplace issues wherever appropriate.

ABOUT YOU
You are an experienced HR professional who has worked in environments where things move quickly, people are under pressure, and HR does not always have a ready audience. You are used to building trust from scratch, particularly with managers and teams who may be accustomed to doing things their own way.
You are tenacious without being inflexible, approachable without being a pushover, and confident enough to hold your position when it matters while remaining sensitive to the human side of every situation.
