About the job
The Baumer Group is an internationally leading manufacturer of sensors and measuring instruments for factory and process automation. We owe this success to our approximately 2,800 employees worldwide, who are always passionately, expertly and committedly searching for the best solutions for our customers.
The headquarters in Frauenfeld (Thurgau) sets the pace for the globally sought-after Baumer sensor solutions. Around 700 employees from engineering, product management, manufacturing, logistics, sales and services work closely together here: engineers continuously develop new solutions, while the production and logistics teams ensure that the sensors arrive at customers on time and in Baumer quality.
In our well-coordinated HR team, we not only accompany personnel processes but also make an important contribution to the further development of our company. Together, we look after around 800 employees throughout Switzerland and support our managers in building and further developing successful teams. For a support area with around 200 employees, I am looking for an experienced personality who understands HR as a partnership advisory function and at the same time drives things forward.
As a Senior HR Business Partner, you work closely with managers, support them in all personnel matters and actively accompany changes. You recognise potential, understand the needs of the business and develop pragmatic as well as sustainable solutions. In doing so, you move confidently between operational implementation and conceptual further development.
It is important to me that you take responsibility, actively tackle challenges and build trust with your service orientation. If you want to not only manage HR but also shape it and enjoy successfully developing people, managers and organisations, I look forward to getting to know you.
Christoph Suter, Head of HR Switzerland
With us, collaboration takes place where ideas are born: together on site. We are convinced that good leadership, team spirit and quick decisions work best when people can exchange ideas personally. That is why we deliberately rely on 100% work on site - for close collaboration, short distances and a lively corporate culture. In exceptional cases (e.g. visit from a craftsman, doctor’s appointment, official business, etc.) it is of course possible to work from home occasionally.
