In this role, you act as the link between operations and management, translating business needs into effective HR strategies and ensuring strong execution on the floor. You lead a team of 4 HR professionals and work closely with site leadership to build a high-performing, engaged and stable workforce.

You will be at the forefront of key people challenges such as absenteeism, turnover, leadership development and culture, making a direct impact on the success and sustainability of the operation.

• Strengthen leadership capability by coaching managers, supporting performance management and driving leadership development programs.
• Shape and improve site culture, promoting engagement, ownership and a positive working environment.
• Support and challenge the operation on workforce planning, performance, employee relations and organizational development.
• Ensure compliance with labor laws, GXO policies and HR standards, while maintaining a fair and consistent approach.

What do we offer you?

• A key role within one of the largest and most advanced logistics hubs in the Netherlands.
• A competitive salary, depending on your experience, supported by a solid benefits package with a company car and end year bonus.
• Real career opportunities within an international organisation that invests in your development, with transparent growth paths toward senior coordinator, trainer, HR or operations roles.
• A strong people-first culture built on safety, teamwork and continuous improvement, within a dynamic environment of motivated colleagues where no day is the same.
• Access to a high-quality company restaurant, where professional chefs prepare fresh, healthy meals every day for just a few euro.

What we are looking for:

• Proven experience as an HR Manager or senior HR Business Partner, preferably within logistics, operations or a fast-paced environment.
• Strong leadership experience, including managing and developing HR teams.
• Experience dealing with high absenteeism, turnover and organizational challenges, with the ability to translate analysis into action.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, able to influence both operational teams and senior management.
