COMPANY OVERVIEW
Hunt Electric is 100% employee owned and connected by our core values providing the perfect blend of big-company stability, resources, and opportunities, with the tight-knit team culture, creative spirit, and customer loyalty of a local business.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
As a Human Resources Business Partner (HRBP), you will serve as a trusted advisor and strategic partner to leaders across the organization, championing our employee-owned culture and people-first values.
