JSB Investments Inc. Group of Companies is seeking a strong, disciplined, and highly competent Group Human Resources Manager to lead HR operations across our group of companies.

This is not a passive desk-only HR role. We are looking for a serious HR professional who understands structure, compliance, attendance control, performance management, disciplinary documentation, field operations, and executive reporting.

The successful candidate must be comfortable working in a fast-paced Guyanese industrial environment involving construction, logistics, marine operations, ready-mix concrete, trading, field teams, technical staff, and multiple operating sites.

Non-Negotiable Standards

Applicants must understand that this is a high-responsibility HR leadership role.

The company requires someone who is:

✔ Present and alert during core operating hours
✔ Able to lead by example
✔ Willing to act quickly when urgent staff or site issues arise
✔ Firm enough to enforce policy without favoritism
✔ Fair enough to handle employee matters professionally
✔ Strong with documentation and evidence-based decisions
✔ Comfortable challenging weak supervision or poor attendance habits
✔ Serious about discipline, payroll accuracy, and compliance
✔ Able to work with senior management, supervisors, field workers, and technical teams

This role is best suited for someone with stamina, maturity, confidence, and strong HR judgement.

Required Experience & Skills

Applicants should have:

✔ Proven experience in Human Resources, Industrial Relations, Workforce Administration, or HR Operations
✔ Strong knowledge of Guyana labour practices, employment records, and disciplinary procedures
✔ Experience managing attendance, staff files, contracts, payroll support, and performance reviews
✔ Strong reporting, investigation, communication, and follow-up skills
✔ Confidence using HR, attendance, biometric, payroll, or appraisal software
✔ Ability to work across office, field, industrial, and operational environments
✔ Ability to handle confidential matters with maturity and discretion
✔ Strong command of policy enforcement, staff accountability, and supervisor coordination

Experience in construction, logistics, marine operations, manufacturing, transportation, mining, ready-mix concrete, or industrial services would be a strong advantage.
The Ideal Candidate

We are looking for a candidate who is:

🌟 Firm, fair, and professional
🌟 Highly organized and detail-driven
🌟 Strong with systems, records, and deadlines
🌟 Confident dealing with difficult staff matters
🌟 Comfortable working directly with senior leadership
🌟 Practical enough to understand field operations
🌟 Serious about accountability and productivity
🌟 Not easily intimidated by operational pressure
🌟 Capable of building order where systems are weak

The Group HR Manager will be responsible for building and enforcing a structured HR system across the group, ensuring that people, payroll, attendance, performance, discipline, compliance, and documentation are properly managed.

This role requires someone who can lead from the front, work closely with senior management, support supervisors, hold staff accountable, and ensure that HR decisions are backed by proper records, facts, and follow-through.
Key Responsibilities

The successful candidate will be expected to:

✅ Manage group-wide HR operations across multiple companies and work sites
✅ Maintain strict control of employee files, contracts, attendance records, and HR documentation
✅ Oversee onboarding, staff deployment, training follow-ups, and performance tracking
✅ Monitor employee attendance and overtime through digital HR and biometric systems
