Gustavsberg AB's business idea is to offer innovative bathroom solutions that make everyday life both easier and more relaxing. Therefore, we at Gustavsberg provide a complete solution for the entire bathroom. We combine high quality and smart features with Nordic design. It may sound obvious, and perhaps that is why we have had the privilege of delivering bathroom products for 200 years.

We have sales in the Nordic countries and the Baltics, with several markets and currently have about 330 employees and generate over 1 billion SEK in revenue. Gustavsberg AB is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Finnish Oras Group.

In Vårgårda, we manufacture faucets and technical fittings, employing around 200 staff.

The head office is located in Gustavsberg.

As an HR Generalist at Gustavsberg, you will have a broad and close-to-business role where you have significant influence over HR work locally in Vårgårda. The role is primarily focused on employees within Production and involves close collaboration with managers in daily operations.

In the role, you will be offered, among other things:

• Work closely with the organization and support managers in matters related to labor law, work environment, rehabilitation, and personnel issues.

• As part of the HR team, you will actively participate in ensuring common HR processes within recruitment, onboarding of new employees, performance reviews, equal treatment, work environment, rehabilitation, personnel statistics, etc.

• Collaborate with union representatives (IF Metall and Unionen).

• Ensure compliance with laws, collective agreements, and general policies while driving HR processes with clarity and integrity.

You work closely with the business but are a natural part of the HR team and report to the HR manager located in Gustavsberg. You work in a structured manner and contribute to maintaining a high and consistent quality in HR work over time.

You are a secure and unpretentious person who thrives in a role where you work closely with the business and have a sense for the production environment. You have the ability to combine a coaching and attentive approach with the courage to stand up for HR processes, agreements, and regulations. You are structured, organized, and used to taking initiative and leading HR work forward.

We see that you have a post-secondary education in HR, human resources, or equivalent, as well as at least three years of experience in a broad HR role. You have good knowledge of Swedish labor law and work environment legislation, as well as experience in union collaboration, negotiations, and salary reviews related to collective agreements. You are comfortable with digital tools in your daily work and express yourself well in both spoken and written Swedish and English.

As a person, you are inspiring, trustworthy, and humble, with high integrity and a genuine commitment to people. You thrive in a familial culture where collaboration, respect, and long-term focus are paramount.

This is the role for you if you want to work in a stable and well-known company with over 200 years of history, where sustainability, care, and long-term focus are more than just words. Gustavsberg is characterized by a familial culture where people take care of each other, where HR has a clear and important role, and where employees are proud of their work and their brand.
