Human resources professionals keep the electric co-op workplace humming.

Their wide-ranging scope of responsibilities includes payroll; wage, salary and benefits administration; compliance; recruiting; onboarding; employee development and training; workplace culture and leadership.

Depending on the co-op’s size, an HR professional might also support another department (such as the Finance Department) or work with the board of directors.

An ideal HR candidate should be able to build relationships and train and develop people while being adept at details and organization.
