We are looking for a HR & Office Administrator to join our team in Delta, BC from 8:00 am – 4:30 pm , Monday to Friday.

In this role, you will be the operational backbone of the employee experience, ensuring everything runs smoothly behind the scenes across People Operations, recruitment coordination, and workplace support.

From payroll, benefits, and HR administration to candidate experience, onboarding, office operations, and vendor coordination, you create a seamless, organized, and welcoming experience for employees and candidates alike.

Acting as a key connector between teams, vendors, finance, and employees, you manage details proactively while building trust through accuracy, consistency, and care in every interaction.

Owning the People Operations Backbone

• Owning semi-monthly payroll (ensuring accuracy and timeliness) and managing group benefits (enrollment, changes, renewals)
• Maintaining HR administration (offers, TD1s, direct deposit, employee records)
• Ensuring compliance with BC Employment Standards (ROEs, WCB)
• Tracking vacation, sick time, and statutory holidays
• Acting as the first point of contact for employee inquiries (pay, benefits, time off)

Driving People Experience & Workplace Culture

• Coordinating team events, lunches, and celebrations

Supporting Talent & Hiring Operations

• Supporting recruitment for junior/admin roles (postings, scheduling, communication, initial phone screens)
• Managing candidate pipelines in our ATS (BambooHR) and partnering with external recruiters on specialized roles
• Coordinating onboarding to ensure a smooth day-one experience

WHAT SKILLS AND EXPERIENCES YOU WILL BRING

• 3–5 years in an office administration, HR administrator, or operations coordinator role — ideally in a company of 20–100 employees where you've had to be a true generalist
• Canadian payroll knowledge: experience processing payroll using ADP, Ceridian Dayforce, Humi, or similar; comfortable with source deductions, ROEs, and T4 preparation
• Familiarity with BC employment standards: vacation pay, statutory holidays, and termination requirements
• Comfortable with business software: proficient in Excel and Microsoft 365; experience with BambooHR or a similar HRIS/ATS is an asset; quick to learn the company's payroll and HR platforms
• You are warm, professional and discreet: you handle sensitive employee questions with care and confidentiality
• You are highly organized with strong follow-through: you manage multiple recurring deadlines — payroll, WCB, benefits renewals — without dropping anything
• You are proactive with a strong sense of ownership and accountability
• You are positive, solutions-oriented attitude and a clear, effective communicator

WHAT WE OFFER

• An opportunity to make an outsized contribution along with a great team and company culture
• An annual salary of $50,000-$65,000 per year, plus participation in the company bonus pool
