- Managing employee relations, including engagement with trade unions and key stakeholders
- Overseeing HR operations; ensuring consistent, high-quality service delivery on site

- Managing employee relations with trade union involvement
- Leading or contributing to organisational change programmes
- Applying UK employment law and HR best practice in a practical setting.
