Benefits Specialist (on-site)

At Precinmac, our values aren't words on a wall - they shape how we show up for each other every day. This role lives at the heart of that commitment.

As an Employee Benefits Specialist, you'll administer and support a comprehensive suite of benefit programs - medical, dental, vision, retirement, leave, wellness, and voluntary benefits - serving as a trusted resource for employees and divisional HR leaders across the organization. You'll approach every interaction with the trust, integrity, and humility that define who we are, and bring genuine gratitude for the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in people's lives.

This role demands action - operational precision, responsiveness, and ownership in keeping our benefit programs accurate, compliant, and running seamlessly. But it also calls for growth - a learning mindset, the agility to adapt as programs and regulations evolve, and a collaborative spirit in partnering with vendors, payroll, and internal stakeholders to drive continuous improvement.

If you're driven by excellence and believe that how we take care of our people reflects who we are as a company, we'd love to talk.
