Human Resources Manager

Join a 100% Employee-Owned Company Where People Come First

Northern Radiator, a 100% EMPLOYEE-OWNED COMPANY , is looking for an experienced Human Resources Manager at our headquarters in Willmar, Minnesota.

At Northern Radiator, we’re more than a company — we’re a 100% Employee-Owned organization built on a culture of caring, respect, and collaboration. Here, every employee-owner is a name, not a number. We work together, share in our success, and take pride in knowing that our daily contributions help build wealth, equality, and a future for all.

What You’ll Do :

As our Human Resources Manager, you’ll play a key role in shaping the employee experience and strengthening our employee ownership culture. You’ll partner with leaders and employee-owners to ensure our HR operations, employee relations, and compliance programs run smoothly, effectively, and with heart.

You will :

• Serve as a trusted advisor to employees and leaders, providing guidance on employee relations, compliance, and performance management.
• Foster a positive, respectful workplace culture that supports fairness, respect, and clear communication.
• Manage and maintain HR policies, procedures, and compliance with federal, state, and local regulations.
• Lead investigations, address employee concerns, and oversee disciplinary and performance processes with consistency and care.
• Partner with the CHRO on compliance programs, performance appraisal systems, and HR best practices.
• Support employee ownership initiatives and education — helping our team understand and maximize the benefits of our ESOP and retirement plans.
• Oversee recruitment, onboarding, and training programs that set new employee-owners up for success.
• Assist in payroll, benefits, and HRIS administration to ensure accuracy, timeliness, and confidentiality.
• Partner with leaders to promote workplace safety, injury prevention, and compliance with OSHA and workers’ compensation programs, to ensure our employee-owners go home safely each day.

What We’re Looking For :

Northern Radiator provides high quality heating and cooling products for automotive, agricultural, truck, industrial and racing products. Northern Radiator has been in business for over 54 years. Our headquarters, manufacturing facility, and primary distribution facility is located in Willmar, Minnesota with 19 regional distribution centers located throughout the U.S.

Why Join Us?
