Job description

Do you want to play a key role at the heart of a growing company?

At Desgagnés Logistik inc. (DLI), our sustained development and continuous expansion create a stimulating environment where human resources are more than ever a strategic lever.

As an HR Partner, you will help structure this growth, support our teams, and drive our human and organizational ambitions.

What Awaits You

In this strategic role, you will have a direct impact on the entire employee lifecycle. You will support management and supervisors in workforce planning, staffing, onboarding and integration, while deploying attraction strategies tailored to our operational realities.

You will contribute to skills development by identifying training needs, implementing development programs, and ensuring follow-up of performance evaluation processes.

You will also be at the heart of labour relations: committee participation, support for managers in disciplinary matters, application of policies and collective agreements, internal communications and maintaining a healthy work environment.

Administratively, you will help manage compensation, benefits, pay equity and all employee files—from hiring to end of employment. You will lead or support HR programs aligned with business objectives and follow up on HR budgets under your responsibility.

What We Expect From You

We are looking for a complete HR partner: structured, pragmatic and solution-oriented. You possess a university degree in HR or industrial relations, combined with several years of generalist HR experience, ideally in an industrial, manufacturing or transportation environment.

You are comfortable working in a multitasking environment where priorities shift quickly. You excel in relationships with managers, as well as communication with employees and union partners.

You stand out through sound judgment, professionalism, and the ability to manage urgencies, sensitive issues and deadlines. Rigorous and methodical, you know how to maintain the quality and consistency of HR processes while staying accessible, human and engaging.

Finally, you embody Desgagnés’ core values: integrity, transparency, respect, commitment and pride in a job well done.
