ABOUT THE TEAM

At Anduril, we build the hardware that defines the mission. Arsenal-1 is our advanced manufacturing facility, and its hourly production workforce — operators, technicians, and frontline managers — is the engine behind everything we ship. 

ABOUT THE JOB

We are looking for a floor-first Employee Relations Specialist to own investigations and proactive ER programs for Arsenal-1's production workforce. You'll run a steady caseload end-to-end while standing up the manager training, trend analysis, and culture initiatives that let the site scale without scaling risk. The split is roughly 60% casework, 40% building. The ER framework exists; you're executing it, pressure-testing it, and improving it.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Investigations & Casework:

• Own end-to-end workplace investigations for Arsenal-1's hourly workforce: intake, evidence gathering, interviews, findings, written reports, and recommendations across the full spectrum — policy violations, discrimination, harassment, improper conduct, theft, fraud
• Deliver investigation reports that hold up to Legal and senior leadership review — clear narrative, sound analysis, defensible conclusions
• Partner with PBPs on case review and recommendations; the business makes the final call on outcomes
• Flag risk early and work effectively with in-house employment counsel (and outside counsel when needed) to navigate sensitive or escalating matters

Floor Presence & Relationship Building:

• Build trusted, in-person relationships with frontline managers and shift leads — many operators don't have laptops or Zoom, so you have to be physically present
• Serve as a credible, approachable resource for managers navigating employee issues before they become formal complaints
• Get in front of trends: if a team is generating repeat complaints, you're having the conversation with their manager about expectations, not waiting for the next intake

Program Building & Scale:

• Operationalize and improve the existing investigation workflow — build consistency, documentation standards, and tracking as caseload grows
• Design and deliver proactive ER programs: manager training on policies and behavioral expectations, harassment prevention, investigation awareness
• Identify patterns across casework and translate them into actionable recommendations for PBPs and site leadership

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 4+ years of workplace investigations and employee relations advisory experience — you can run a case solo on day one, intake through written report and recommendation
• Direct experience supporting hourly/non-exempt workforces in production, manufacturing, warehousing, or distribution environments
• Strong written and verbal communication — investigation reports are BLUF, structured for a Legal and leadership audience
• Employment law fluency — you know policy, can interpret it, can spot risk, and have good instincts for when to loop in counsel
• Self-sufficient operator who has worked in environments where the playbook wasn't fully built and the manager wasn't co-located
• Program-building experience — you've built or meaningfully improved ER training, investigation processes, or proactive manager education programs
• Comfortable with ambiguity and operational tempo — you adapt process to the business, not the other way around
• U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export controlled data

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Defense, aerospace, or advanced manufacturing background
• Non-union hourly workforce experience (union experience is fine, but non-union dynamics are the primary environment)
• Experience partnering closely with People Business Partners in a matrixed or shared-services model
