Human Resources Generalist I

As our Human Resources Generalist I – Talent Acquisition, you’ll own the full recruiting lifecycle at Greens Creek, from the moment a hiring manager identifies a staffing need to the day a new hire completes employee orientation. You’ll partner with hiring managers across the operation to plan, source, screen, and select talent; coordinate the travel and logistics that come with hiring for a remote island mine; guide candidates through pre-employment clearance; manage hiring and new employee setup in our HRIS; and deliver the new hire employee orientation that gives every new hire a strong, safe start. This position is based at our Vintage Park office in Juneau, Alaska, and supports the Greens Creek Mine, a remote underground operation located 18 miles south of Juneau on Admiralty Island, accessible only by floatplane or ferry. The role includes one day per month on-site at the mine to deliver new hire orientation. Our HR team supports over 500 employees, and the people you bring through the door shape the future of this operation. To thrive in this role, you must be organized, persistent, candidate-focused, and confident managing many moving pieces at once, both independently and as part of a close-knit team.
