Our Vision & Why It Matters

At Alexander Dennis, our vision is to lead the evolution of sustainable on-road mass transportation and mobility.

We design, deliver, and support market-leading buses and coaches that help reduce emissions, improve air quality, and keep communities connected. Every role contributes to that mission whether you’re engineering, driving sales, improving production, or supporting our customers.

What You’Ll Do

As HR Manager for Falkirk and Larbert Operations, you’ll play a central role in shaping how we support, engage, and grow our people. Leading a small team and partnering closely with site leadership, you’ll bring HR strategy to life across the full employee lifecycle. From driving culture change and developing talent, to building strong trade union relationships and delivering large-scale projects, you’ll ensure our people practices not only meet operational needs but also create a workplace where everyone can thrive.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for an experienced HR leader with a background in fast-paced, industrial or manufacturing environments. You’ll be confident handling complex employee relations cases, experienced in leading change, and comfortable influencing at every level of the business. With a CIPD qualification (or equivalent) and strong knowledge of employment law, you’ll combine commercial awareness with a collaborative and people centred approach. Above all, you’ll bring energy, credibility, and a genuine passion for making a positive difference to both the business and its people.

Bonus if you have: It would be a real advantage if you’ve managed successful trade union negotiations, led major change programmes, or introduced innovative ways of improving HR processes. Experience in coaching and developing others, as well as using data to shape people decisions, would also help you make a big impact in this role.

• Impact: Be part of something that’s changing cities, improving air quality, helping public transport evolve.
• Development & Growth: Training programmes, mentorship, opportunities to take on new roles, broaden skills.
• Culture & Belonging: An inclusive environment; your voice matters; we treat people fairly.

Perks & Benefits: Competitive salary, pension, wellbeing support, cycle to work scheme, enhanced maternity and paternity benefits.

Safety: The health and wellbeing of our team members, and the safety of our products, are our top priority.

Quality: We strive for excellence in our products, services, and all that we do.
