Walbec Group | Greenville, WI

Walbec Group is a third-generation, family-owned construction company building infrastructure across Wisconsin, Michigan, and Illinois.

As an HR Operations Generalist, you'll be part of the team that runs the day-to-day operational work that supports the full employee lifecycle.

• Be the first point of contact for employees, candidates, and hiring managers through our AskHR inbox, phone line, and ticketing system-triaging questions, resolving routine needs, and making sure nothing gets dropped.

• Own candidate-to-Day One coordination, including welcome communication, pre-employment task tracking, confirmation outreach, and keeping recruiters/hiring managers informed.

• Support and execute compliance tasks across the employee lifecycle ensuring records are complete, accurate, and ready when needed.

• Facilitate new hire orientation at assigned locations-guiding employees through Day One readiness, verifying access/system tasks, and completing required employment paperwork (including I9 document completion).

• Process HR transactions in Workday and help maintain clean, accurate employee data through routine updates and periodic audits.

• Coordinate across teams to keep onboarding and employee support running smoothly-especially when timelines are tight or details are missing.

• Support our HR Centers of Excellence, including Talent Acquisition, Total Rewards, Employee Relations, Payroll, and Learning & Development, to ensure smooth handoffs and deliver strong employee assistance.

• Two+ years of experience in HR, onboarding, operations, or customer/service support in a fast-paced environment
