We are seeking an experienced Human Resources Generalist to own day-to-day HR administration and corporate compliance for FacilityIG, working on-site from our Tempe, AZ office.

This is a full-time, hourly position (40 hours per week, weekdays) paying $25.00 – $35.00 per hour, depending on experience.

Join our team as we expand into solar projects across Arizona and beyond. As part of one of the nation's fastest-growing and most innovative energy companies (Inc. 500), you'll build and run the HR operating system that supports our office and field teams.
