HR Business Partner - Dudley

Your Job

Georgia-Pacific is seeking an HR Business Partner to join the team at our Plywood manufacturing facility in Dudley, North Carolina.

This is an opportunity for an HR professional who wants to learn, contribute, and grow in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

We are looking for someone with a strong HR foundation who is motivated to build broader business and HR capability through hands-on experience.

The right candidate does not need to have already held an HR Manager role.

We are open to an experienced HR professional or an earlier-career candidate with strong potential and at least two years of meaningful HR experience.

For someone with the capability and motivation, this role can provide experiences that build readiness for broader HR responsibilities over time.

This is not a desk-only HR role.

The HR Business Partner will be expected to understand the operation, spend time on the manufacturing floor, attend preshift meetings, build relationships across shifts, and learn the business directly from the people doing the work.

This is also an opportunity to develop.

We want someone who actively seeks feedback, learns quickly from experience, takes on increasingly difficult work, and wants to build the capabilities needed for larger HR responsibilities in the future.

Success will require someone who collaborates well, earns credibility, communicates professionally, follows through on commitments, and is willing to step into problems rather than work around them.

This is an onsite role that requires living within a reasonable commuting distance of Dudley, North Carolina.

This role requires the ability to adjust normal working hours as business needs require which may include early mornings (before 7:00 a.m.), late nights (7:00 p.m.

- 9:00 p.m.) and/or weekends as needed.

Our Team

The HR Business Partner will be part of the Dudley Plywood HR team and report to the Manager, HR Business Partner.

Dudley Plywood employs approximately 450 hourly non-union employees and nearly 50 salaried employees.

The Dudley HR team works directly with Operations and other site leaders to improve business performance through people.

This role will have exposure to recruiting, onboarding, employee relations, performance management, supervisor development, talent planning, Principle Based Management, workforce analytics, community partnerships, and day-to-day HR operations.

What You Will Do


* Build trusted working relationships with hourly employees, supervisors, and site leadership through regular floor presence, listening, follow-through, and practical HR support.


* Learn the Plywood operation and connect HR priorities to the site's operational and business objectives.


* Advance Principle Based Management by helping leaders apply PBM principles to decisions involving people, performance, selection, development, accountability, and organizational effectiveness.


* Coach supervisors and leaders on their people responsibilities...
