HR Officer

Full-time | 28-32 hours | Permanent | SPECTO Aerospace | Hoogerheide (Woensdrecht Air Base)

Are you a driven HR Officer who embraces working in a technical environment? Then we have good news for you! SPECTO Aerospace is looking for an experienced HR Officer to join our local HR team in Woensdrecht.

We are all about repairing helicopter parts and maintaining high quality standards in the aviation industry. We offer innovative repair solutions for composite parts from our MRO facilities in Hoogerheide for helicopters and in Lelystad for fixed-wing aircraft.

With a team of professionals, we work daily on high-quality and innovative solutions for our (international) clients in the aviation industry. For our location in Hoogerheide (Woensdrecht Air Base), we are looking for a versatile and proactive HR Officer who combines HR tasks with operational support on the shop floor.

What will you be doing?

As HR Officer, you will manage daily HR administration and support the HR department with various operational tasks at SPECTO Services in Woensdrecht. You will spend most of your time on HR activities such as personnel administration, absence management and onboarding, local recruitment, and you will provide practical support for onboarding programs. You will also be responsible for various office tasks, allowing your colleagues to focus on their core tasks.

You are a true people person: empathetic, engaged, and approachable. You have a keen sense of situations and emotions and know exactly when to listen and when to act in consultation with your manager. Colleagues feel heard, and thanks to your communication skills, you naturally de-escalate conflicts, maintain harmony, and actively contribute to a positive working atmosphere.

The position is a 28-32 hour workweek, spread over 5 days, so your daily presence contributes to the smooth running of the support team (this can be coordinated in consultation). You will report to and support SPECTO Aerospace's HR Business Partner and coordinate your office duties with the Operations Manager at our Woensdrecht location. You are willing to travel to our Lelystad location occasionally, for example, for monthly meetings and initial onboarding.

Responsibilities

• Perform HR tasks, including managing personnel files, processing changes, supporting development reviews, development plans, absence reviews, absence administration, and salary adjustments. You will be the local point of contact for HR matters

• Supporting local recruitment activities in collaboration with our recruiter, such as maintaining contact with schools, planning job events, and supporting the onboarding of new employees

• You will perform administrative and operational tasks in the office, such as managing access passes, tokens, and badges, tracking the issuance of company property, and scanning and archiving project documentation

• Registering visitors with the Ministry of Defence, guiding visitors to and from the gate of the air base and facilitating their access to the building. You'll also answer the phone and coordinate incoming questions and requests

• You'll be the first point of contact for practical office and building management matters, such as reporting technical reports, coordinating minor repairs, and organizing facility support

• Being a qualified Emergency Response Officer (ERO) is a plus

You can expect:

• An excellent salary of €3,000 - €3,800 gross per month for a 40-hour workweek (depending on work experience, education, and age)

• Excellent employment benefits, including a pension, 44 days off, reimbursement for all travel, and the Metal and Electrical Industry Collective Labor Agreement (CAO) applies

• Opportunities for personal development, staff events, and working in a great team within a growing organization with an informal work atmosphere where collaboration is key

• A part-time position of 28-32 hours per week, with working hours spread over 5 days for daily support and flexibility

• A versatile role in a dynamic environment where no two days are the same and there's room for personal input and development

Why should you choose this position at SPECTO? Well, because we're a growing, certified aviation engineering company that carries out repairs worldwide for well-known aircraft manufacturers, maintenance companies, and airlines. A fantastic opportunity to further develop yourself as an HR Officer in the aviation world. With us, you'll be a valued member of the SPECTO team, not just a number.

What do we expect from you as an HR Officer?

• A vocational (Secondary School) working and thinking level and preferably a successfully completed degree in HR, Administration, or a similar field.

• 2 to 5 years of work experience in a supporting HR role or a similar position, preferably in a technical environment.
