What the HR Manager Role Is All About

The HR Manager at KMM is a hands‑on, people‑focused leader who keeps daily HR operations running smoothly across multiple locations. You're the person who ensures employees, supervisors, and new hires get consistent, high‑quality support - and you lead the HR team that makes it all happen.

At its core, this role blends leadership, operations, and compliance in a fast‑paced aerospace/defense manufacturing environment.

What You Lead

You directly supervise:

• HR Generalists

• Recruiting Specialist

• Learning Systems & Onboarding Lead

Your job is to coach, develop, and guide them so HR services stay consistent, compliant, and excellence‑driven.

What You Own Day‑to‑Day

You're responsible for the execution of HR operations - not the enterprise strategy (that's the Director's lane). Your daily work includes:

• Recruiting & hiring

• Onboarding & LMS administration

• Employee relations & investigations

• Performance management support

• Benefits education & HRIS accuracy

• Compliance execution (EEO‑1, VETS‑4212, AAP, OSHA, WSI, FMLA, FLSA)

• Audit‑ready documentation

• Cross‑functional partnership with Operations, Quality, Safety, Engineering, and IT

This is a role where you stay close to the work, close to the people, and close to the processes that keep HR running.

Why This Role Matters

KMM builds mission‑critical components for aircraft, weapons systems, and space technologies. HR plays a huge part in:

• keeping teams staffed

• keeping training compliant

• keeping documentation audit‑ready

• keeping culture strong

• keeping employees supported

You're the leader who ensures HR delivers excellence every single day.

Who Thrives in This Role

This role is perfect for someone who:

• enjoys leading a small HR team

• likes hands‑on HR work

• thrives in structured, compliance‑heavy environments

• wants multi‑site HR experience

• is ready to grow into higher‑level HR leadership

It's also ideal for a strong HR Generalist or HR Supervisor ready to step into a true Manager role.
