Job Description:

Position: HR ManagerLocation: Westminster, CODepartment: Human Resources
Trimble has an exciting Human Resources Manager opportunity available in our Civil Engineering and Construction business. This business is a vibrant and critical part of Trimble's overall portfolio, where we are exploring new horizons; building new organizations; and learning new things. We work together internationally; enjoy an informal work environment; and collaborate with team members who are committed to getting results. This role will report to the CEC HR Director.

This is an individual contributor position that requires senior level business partnering experience; strategic-level thinking; and hands-on problem-solving. If this sounds like you, then you are not afraid to step into the challenge of a complex, matrixed international organization. You've had experience in a technology product and solutions development business -- preferably software and hardware; direct and channel sales; product management and operations. You know what it takes to integrate and support mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures. You have a reputation for building strong rapport with business leaders and employees alike; establishing credibility and trust quickly; professionally resolving difficult people and organizational issues; efficiently and accurately attending to the day-to-day processes and details; and meeting the varied needs that arise in a fast-paced, nuanced, and often ambiguous environment. You are someone who thinks strategically and acts tactically. You want to join a team that does what it takes to get the job done -- whenever and wherever our knowledge, judgment, expertise, or just plain task completion is required. You work hard, and have a sense of accomplishment in your contributions. If this sounds like you, please let us know. We'd like to get to know you.
