ROLE DESCRIPTION

The Employee Experience Specialist is the on-the-ground heartbeat of our Weirton site, owning the programs, moments, and logistics that make Form a place where people feel welcome, celebrated, and connected to something bigger than themselves. This role lives on the factory floor, not behind a desk — you'll spend most of your time in and around production, working directly with our manufacturing workforce across shifts.

This is a hands-on, high-visibility role best suited for someone who genuinely loves building community, and can move seamlessly from executing a site-wide lunch, to designing an onboarding experience, to helping a group of employees get properly set up during Open Enrollment. You'll be the face of the Form Factory 1 employee experience at our factory, and part of a small but mighty team that collectively delivers an exceptional employee experience to all of Form Energy's employees.

Relocation assistance is available.

- Facilitate weekly onboarding sessions, including utilizing our onboarding tool, Enboarder, coordinating all logistics, materials, and being a welcoming presence on Day 1

- Partner with key stakeholders to identify opportunities in onboarding processes and suggest improvements

- Own first-day readiness — create Brivo accounts and print badges, coordinate with local IT team for device and account setup, coordinate with Facilities team to secure workspace and materials

- Serve as the point of contact for new hire questions and process needs from hire through their first 30 days, connecting them to the right resources

- Facilitate new hire swag ordering and distribution for WV site

Employee Support (~10%)

- Support onsite employees with HR questions and concerns, partnering with the WV People team as needed

- Maintain accurate employee records and support HRIS data integrity in Oracle and ADP

WHAT YOU'LL BRING:

- 2-4 years of experience in employee experience, HR coordination, event planning, office management, or a closely related role

- Warm, people-first presence — you're genuinely energized by making people feel welcome and celebrated

- Previous experience working directly with a manufacturing workforce preferred

- Demonstrated ability to coordinate logistics for multiple programs simultaneously

- Strong written communication skills; comfortable drafting employee-facing content with attention to tone and audience

- Comfort with ambiguity and a proactive instinct — when you see a gap, you fill it

- Quick to learn new tools; experience with HR or workplace platforms (Enboarder, Slack, Oracle, ADP, Google Workspace) is a plus

- Comfortable being fully on-site in Weirton, WV, with occasional presence for early, evening or weekend events

WHERE YOU'LL WORK:

This role is based at Form Factory 1 in Weirton, WV—an easy commute from the city of Pittsburgh, PA. This 550,000-square-foot facility is our hub for high-volume battery production and a leader in the new era of American energy manufacturing. Relocation assistance is available.
