Join Our Team
At Miro Manufacturing, we are proud of the culture we’ve built—one centered around great, hard-working people who show up for each other every day.

• 5+ years of progressive HR experience in a manufacturing environment (PHR/SPHR a plus)
• Strong experience with OSHA, safety programs, and compliance is required
• In-depth knowledge of benefit and retirement plans, including state and federal regulatory compliance
• Operational knowledge of payroll policies, regulations, and procedures
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook; PowerPoint a plus)
• Bilingual in Spanish and English is required
