About the Role:

This key position will be responsible for overseeing and handling workplace investigations, employee grievances, participating in collective bargaining processes, and promoting best practices in labour and employee relations. As a trusted advisor, you will provide guidance on the interpretation and application of collective agreements, labour laws, and workplace policies across multiple provincial jurisdictions.

  • Lead investigations of routine and complex workplace investigations, including allegations of bullying and harassment, personality conflicts, behavioural and performance incidents.
  • Respond to employee and union grievances, working collaboratively with managers, union representatives, and employees to resolve issues promptly and effectively.
  • Participate in collective bargaining preparation, negotiations, preparing research, data, and documentation to support the Director of Labour Relations and the bargaining team.
  • Develop and deliver training to managers on labour relations principles, performance management practices, effective communication with unionized employees, and the interpretation of labour laws and collective agreements.
  • Responsible for drafting new or revising current Company policies that contribute to the promotion of the intended workplace culture and demonstration of its values.
  • Act as a facilitator in labour disputes, providing a neutral perspective to foster constructive dialogue and reach amicable or interest-based solutions.
  • Prepare and maintain accurate records, reports, and documentation related to grievances, collective bargaining, and labour relations issues for compliance and analysis.
  • Collaborate with the HR team to address complex employee relations matters, offering expertise on strategies and legal considerations when responding to people matters.
  • Stay informed of labour relations trends, legislative changes, and best practices to provide timely and proactive advice to the Director of Labour Relations.

About You:

To succeed in this role, you will require a Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Industrial Relations, Labour Law, or a related field, and a minimum of 3-5 years of experience in labour relations and employee relations in complex unionized environments. A Master's degree in Industrial Relations, Strategic Human Resources Management, Business Administration, or similar would be considered an asset. You must also be bi-lingual in French and English.

What We Offer:

  • A competitive compensation package, including an estimated salary range of $90,000 - $120,000 per annum.
  • An RRSP matching plan.
  • Extended healthcare benefits available after probation.
  • Hybrid office environment, allowing regular work-from-home days.
