The Human Resource Officer position is global in scope and has responsibility, authority, and accountability for all areas dealing with human resources for approximately 3,400 employees, with nearly $1B in revenue. The HRO reports to the Chief Executive Officer, HNTB Companies who in turn reports to the Executive Chairman for HNTB Holdings, LTD. HNTB Holdings consists of three operating companies. They include HNTB Corporation, HNTB Architecture, and HNTB Federal Services Corporation. For information on the company?s structure and businesses please visit http://www.hntb.com. The largest of the operating companies is HNTB Corporation. HNTB Corporation represents approximately 85% of total firm wide revenue with an equal or higher percentage of firm wide employees. As such, in addition to their corporate HR role, the HRO will directly support the CEO, HNTB Corporation and serve as a key resource on the HNTB Corporation leadership team. Essentially this means the HRO will report to the CEO, HNTB Companies, but also support HNTB Corporation. Given that, the strongest candidates for this position will have the ability to add value at the corporate level yet be comfortable contributing at the operating company level. Within HNTB Corporation there are five operating divisions. Each division has a President who is supported by an HR Consultant. The HR Consultants report direct line to the Division President and dotted line to the Director, Employee Relations who reports to the HRO. The Director, ER also serves in a dual role as the HR Consultant for the Northeast Division. Additionally, each division has an HR Generalist who supports the field offices within their respective divisions. The HR Generalists report to the Division HR Consultants. HNTB has over 60 offices located throughout the United States. All HR resources, regardless of reporting relationship are considered part of the HNTB HR function. Reporting relationships and budgeting vary by position, but there is a concerted effort to utilize common practices within this decentralized approach to providing HR support within HNTB Corporation. As noted, HNTB also has two other operating companies, HNTB Architecture and HNTB Federal Services Corporation. These two companies combine for approximately $150 Million in revenue. Both are led by CEO?s and supporting leadership teams. Each has a dedicated HR resource who reports within the operating company on a direct line and to the HRO on a dotted line. Both HR resources are considered part of the HNTB HR team and participate fully in company wide HR initiatives. As noted previously, HNTB uses a decentralized approach to HR with strong tie-back to, and support from, the central HR function. Other Firmwide HR functions include Compensation and Benefits, Compliance/EEO, Learning and Development, Recruitment, and Relocation; all of which report to the HRO. A Sr. HR Generalist provides HR support to the Firmwide Business Service functions such as Accounting and Finance, Information Systems, Government Relations, and Compliance & Risk. That position also reports directly to the HRO. An organization chart is provided to help clarify further. Examples of how the HRO will add value at HNTB include: ? Provide leadership for the development and implementation of a firmwide strategy on Human Capital Management. ? Provide oversight leadership for learning and development initiatives that strive to create a high performance culture consistent with HNTB vision and values. ? Provide oversight leadership for compensation and benefits initiatives that strategically reward employees and ultimately reinforce organizational capability. ? Provide oversight leadership for company wide recruitment efforts. This corporate wide function is currently deployed primarily in a decentralized way, focusing on critical needs. With that said, recruitment must be strategically managed recognizing the significant implications it has on HNTB growth plans. ? Oversee the resources necessary to ensure compliance with current applicable FLSA, EEO, ERISA, and other labor laws affecting the company. ? Play a key role in providing subject matter expertise and support for all strategic HR initiatives. At HNTB these initiatives may be driven by the line organization with a line executive serving in a lead role. In such cases HR plays a critical support role. An example of this would be a firmwide strategic initiative known as SRRA, ?Sophisticated Recruitment and Retention Approach? currently being developed by a cross section of line and staff resources. By working closely with the line on Human Capital initiatives, HR is able to build the partnerships needed for success ? Oversee firmwide HR practices for performance management and employee career planning, known at HNTB as CPD; employee development; succession planning; and recognition programs. At present some of these practices are decentralized, differing somewhat from one operating company to another. The firm is moving toward a centralization approach to HR practices where appropriate. This will require influence from a senior HR executive at the Holding Company level. ? Support the strategic assessment and due diligence associated with potential mergers and acquisitions and/or business partnerships that could have a significant influence on staffing, performance, compensation and benefits, and other human resource practices impacting cultural fit. ? Play a role in senior level strategy discussions regarding organizational structure, location, size and number of operating units, divisions, offices, etc. Human Resource Officer - Critical factors for success: Education and experience requirements include a Bachelor?s degree with an advanced degree preferred.
