Rockford, IL Full Time
POSTED ON 2/7/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 4/7/2025

Director of Human Resources – Build, Lead, and Elevate

At Greenlink Energy Solutions, we’re not just building better energy solutions—we’re building a kickass team that makes it all happen. And that’s where you come in.

We need a strategic yet roll-up-your-sleeves HR leader who thrives in a fast-moving, high-growth environment like solar and construction. Someone who sees the big picture, but also knows how to get things done. If you can balance workforce strategy with the reality of running a tight, effective operation, this is your moment.

Your Role: Architect of Talent & Culture

As Director of HR, you’ll be the bridge between strategy and execution, ensuring that Greenlink doesn’t just grow—we scale intelligently and sustainably. You’ll work closely with leadership to attract, retain, and develop top talent while keeping processes sharp, compliance tight, and the culture thriving. You’ll be both a builder and a fixer, refining what works and overhauling what doesn’t.

What You’ll Own & Drive

Strategic HR Leadership

  • Align HR strategies with Greenlink’s mission, values, and aggressive growth goals.
  • Shape a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
  • Build and implement initiatives that support employee engagement, career growth, and operational excellence.

Talent Acquisition & Onboarding

  • Lead the charge on recruiting top-tier talent who can thrive in a fast-paced solar and construction environment.
  • Develop onboarding experiences that get new hires up to speed quickly and deeply embedded in the Greenlink culture.

Employee Development & Performance

  • Partner with leadership to create clear career pathways and growth opportunities for employees.
  • Run performance review processes that actually mean something—no pointless check-the-box exercises here.
  • Champion leadership development and succession planning to keep our team strong as we scale.

HR Operations & Compliance

  • Keep our HR systems and policies tight, efficient, and legally sound.
  • Provide guidance on employee relations, conflict resolution, and compliance—making sure we do things right, while keeping the bureaucracy to a minimum.

Building & Leading the HR Team

  • Oversee and mentor our HR Generalist, making sure HR operations run smoothly and no one is drowning in paperwork.
  • Work cross-functionally with execs, managers, and employees to ensure HR is a driver of business success, not just a backend function.

Who You Are

You’re an HR leader who gets business. You thrive in environments that require both strategy and execution. You’re not afraid to challenge the status quo, and you have the skills to turn vision into reality.

Must-Haves:

  • Experience leading HR in a high-growth environment (bonus points for solar, construction, or trades).
  • A recruiter’s eye for talent—you know how to find and attract top performers.
  • Deep knowledge of HR best practices, compliance, and employment law (without being a “policy police” type).
  • Excellent communication and leadership skills—you build trust, inspire teams, and drive results.
  • A knack for fixing inefficiencies—if there’s a better way to do something, you’ll find it.

Nice-to-Haves:

  • 5 years of HR management experience.
  • SHRM certification or equivalent.
  • Background in business administration, organizational development, or a related field.

Why Greenlink?

  • We move fast. If you love a challenge and want to make a real impact, this is your place.
  • We value people. We don’t just hire employees—we build a team that supports and grows together.
  • We’re growing. And we need someone who can help us scale without losing what makes us great.

If you’re equal parts strategist and doer, and you want to build something meaningful, we’d love to talk. Let’s make Greenlink the best place to work in solar.

Apply now and let’s build something great together.

Application Question(s):

  • Greenlink is a rapidly growing company in the solar, envelope, and HVAC industries, where hiring skilled trade labor is both essential and competitive. Given this, how would you develop and implement a workforce strategy that ensures we have the right people in place as we scale? Please include your thoughts on talent acquisition, retention, and development.
  • At Greenlink, we believe HR should be more than just compliance and admin—it should be a driver of business success. How have you successfully positioned HR as a strategic function in a previous role, and what would that look like here?
  • Greenlink has a unique culture built on accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement. What are three key actions you would take in your first 90 days to reinforce and elevate this culture, particularly in a company that operates in the trades?
  • In a fast-paced operational environment, tensions can arise between leadership, field teams, and support staff. Can you provide an example of how you have successfully navigated and resolved a significant workplace conflict, and how that resolution improved the organization?
