Working closely with the Director, People & Culture, operational leaders and colleagues across the organization, you'll help coordinate employee relations, leaves of absence, workplace injuries, accommodation and return-to-work processes.

You'll be part of a collaborative team that values accountability, curiosity, professional judgment and continuous improvement.

We're strengthening our People & Culture systems and practices, and you'll have opportunities to contribute ideas, improve workflows and help shape how we deliver employee services.

• Prepare and maintain employee relations documentation, case records and follow-up activities.
• Provide practical guidance to employees and managers on established HR policies and processes.
• Collaborate with colleagues on recruitment, onboarding, employee changes and other People & Culture activities.
• Identify opportunities to improve processes, strengthen documentation and support consistent HR practices.
• Contribute to departmental projects, cross-training and continuous improvement initiatives.

What You'll Bring

• Post-secondary education in Human Resources, Business Administration or a related field.
• At least four years of relevant HR experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Experience supporting employee relations, leaves, workplace injury management or related HR activities.
• Working knowledge of Alberta employment legislation and HR practices.
• Strong communication, organization and relationship-building skills.
• Sound judgment, discretion and the ability to handle sensitive matters with care.
• A collaborative approach, initiative and a willingness to learn.

Experience with WCB, disability management, workplace accommodations or return-to-work coordination is an asset. Progress toward a CPHR designation is also welcomed.
