People Partner

ABOUT BUILDING BLOCKS FACADESBuilding Blocks Facades is a vertically integrated facade company. We design, engineer, manufacture, and install complex GFRC, UHPC, and specialty facade systems for commercial construction projects that most contractors will not take on.WHY THIS ROLE EXISTSA growing manufacturing company produces people work that cannot wait. A leave request that starts a legal clock. A complaint that needs an investigation opened tomorrow. A benefits error that shows up on someone’s paycheck. A new hire who needs to be ready on day one. When that work runs late or undocumented, it turns into cost, risk, and lost trust.The People Partner owns that operational lane. You will run BBF’s day-to-day HR operations end to end: benefits administration, HR compliance, hourly and entry-level recruiting, onboarding, leave and accommodations, employee relations and investigations and HR systems and data. You will work for the People Strategy & Performance Manager, who runs the performance management system and owns program design, compensation, policy, and reporting, and you will make the operational decisions that keep those programs running.WHAT YOU WILL OWNBenefits AdministrationEligibility, enrollment, qualifying life events, terminations, and monthly carrier reconciliation, with zero errors caused by HR data.Open enrollment execution with ADP: employee communication, carrier files, and the post-enrollment audit.Benefit notices, 401(k) eligibility and enrollment through ADP, and ACA tracking.HR ComplianceThe HR compliance calendar, with EEO-1 and ACA filings tracked and completed on time through ADP.Labor law postings, I-9 compliance, and personnel and medical file retention, with an annual internal audit.Work authorization tracking: every visa and work-authorization expiration on the compliance calendar, I-9 reverification completed before the expiration date, and upcoming expirations flagged to the People Strategy & Performance Manager well ahead of time.Tracking changes in federal and Florida employment law and drafting policy updates for approval.Recruiting and OnboardingFull-cycle recruiting for production, hourly, and entry-level professional roles: job ads, screening, phone screens, interview scheduling, and candidate communication.Offer letters prepared within approved compensation guidelines.Onboarding execution: paperwork, background checks, system access, orientation, and a new hire who is ready on day one. Form I-9 is completed and the E-Verify case is created on every new hire’s first day.30/60/90-day new hire check-ins and onboarding feedback.Employee Relations and InvestigationsFirst response to employee and supervisor concerns, resolved through coaching, mediation, or corrective action up to a written warning.Investigations from intake to findings: plan, interviews, evidence, findings, and a recommended outcome.Case files complete enough to defend, and a case log that shows trends before they become patterns.Supervisor guidance on attendance, conduct, and corrective action, applied the same way on every shift.Offboarding: exit interviews, final pay coordination with Payroll, benefits and COBRA notices, return of company property, and same-day removal of system and building access, triggered with IT.Leave, Accommodations, and Workers’ CompensationFMLA from request to return: eligibility determinations, notices, certification review, and return-to-work coordination.The ADA and Pregnant Workers Fairness Act interactive process, acknowledged and documented on every request.Military, jury duty, and other protected leaves under federal and Florida law.PTO administration and approval supportWorkers’ compensation claims administration: first report of injury to the carrier, claim tracking, employee communication, and light-duty and return-to-work plans with the Safety team.HR Systems, Data, and ReportingPerformance data upkeep in Odoo Appraisals: employee records, reviewer and manager assignments, and completed review documents kept current, so the People Strategy & Performance Manager can run each cycle on clean data.Primary day-to-day administrator across BBF’s HR systems, such as Odoo and ADP, covering HRIS, payroll, benefits, and e-signature: records, data, and workflows kept accurate, complete, and audit-ready.Payroll submissions for new hires, pay changes, and terminations before every cutoff.The data behind the monthly People dashboard and quarterly leadership report, delivered on schedule.Assigned workstreams on People & Culture projects, with status reported to your manager.Front Desk Guests, vendors, and candidates greeted professionally, with their hosts notifiedThe main office line answered and routed.Visitor sign-in managed to site safety and security requirements.The lobby kept presentable, and mail and packages received, distributed, and shipped.WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FORRequiredFive or more years of progressive Human Resources Management / People Partner experience, ideally in manufacturing, construction, or another similar environment.Workplace investigations you have run from intake through findings and documentation.Hands-on ownership of FMLA administration, the ADA interactive process, and benefits administration, including open enrollment and carrier management.Strong working knowledge of federal and Florida employment law, including FLSA, FMLA, ADA, Title VII, ACA, COBRA, and I-9 requirements.Hands-on experience with an HRIS such as Odoo or ADP, and strong Excel skills.The confidence to make decisions within your authority, and the judgment to know when to escalate.Clear, professional communication with production employees and senior leaders alike.Based in or willing to relocate to the Merritt Island area, with reliable in-person presence.PreferredSHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, PHR, or SPHR certification.Experience building or improving HR processes in a growing organization.Fluency in Spanish and English.A bachelor’s degree in HR, business administration, or a related field. Equivalent experience is considered.WHO THIS ROLE IS NOT FORIf you want HR strategy without case work, this is not that role. The work is operational, and it is yours.If you have always escalated decisions rather than made them, the ownership here will feel uncomfortable.If front desk duties are a dealbreaker, say so now. They are part of the role while the team is built out.If you have only worked in a single-site office, understand that this is a multi-shift manufacturing environment where policy has to work on the floor.If in-office at Merritt Island is negotiable for you, we should not start the process.COMPENSATION AND BENEFITSWe offer a competitive base salary commensurate with experience, plus BBF’s benefits program, including company-paid employee health coverage, a 401(k) with company match, paid time off, and paid holidays. Compensation is discussed openly early in the process so neither side wastes time. Florida has no state income tax, which is worth factoring into any comparison you are running.Building Blocks Facades is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to any legally protected characteristic.Note to Recruitment Agencies: We love your enthusiasm, but we prefer to connect with our candidates directly. Building Blocks is not partnering with external agencies for this search, so please save the outreach, we’ve got this one covered. Any resumes submitted without a signed agreement in place will become the property of Building Blocks and no fees will be paid.
