HR Business Partner (HRBP)

The Role

This role serves as a strategic advisor and trusted partner to market, department, and operational leaders, helping them navigate workforce planning, onboarding, performance support, employee relations, and organizational change with clarity, care, and accountability. In this role, leaders view you as a credible, trusted advisor, and people issues are addressed earlier—not later—so teams gain stronger clarity, consistency, and accountability. You handle employee relations matters thoughtfully, fairly, and effectively, while supporting growth and change without losing what makes Willmeng special. The right person is proactive and grounded, able to influence leaders with confidence so our leaders and teams feel supported, challenged, and aligned.

• Help leaders identify team needs, role clarity gaps, and organizational challenges that may impact engagement or performance.
• Support change management efforts tied to growth, restructuring, new ways of working, and business evolution.
• Build strong relationships across jobsites, offices, and leadership teams to proactively surface and address people-related concerns.
• Champion a people-first, values-based culture while balancing what is right for both the individual and the organization.
