HR Manager – Ohm Solar Solutions
Location: Chico City, CA Team: Ohm Solar Solutions Leadership team Type: Full-time, because humans are unpredictable
Who We Are
At Ohm Solar Solutions, we’re a team of people who believe in doing meaningful work—with good people, for a bigger purpose. We’re not just putting panels on roofs—we’re helping families save money, take control of their energy, and be part of something bigger than themselves.
We’re a growing solar company on a mission to kick fossil fuels in the teeth and make clean energy as common as bad coffee in break rooms. We're not your typical corporate machine. We believe in doing things the right way, treating people like people, and keeping the BS to a minimum.
If you’re an HR pro who is comfortable being an HR team of one, enjoys creating structure out of chaos, and maybe swears a little under your breath during payroll week—you’re gonna fit right in.
What You’ll Actually Be Doing
This role is all about people—keeping things smooth, compliant, and drama-free (mostly). You’ll be building relationships, solving problems, and calling out nonsense when it pops up. You won’t be stuck in a back office printing forms—we like our HR folks front and center.
Onboarding / Offboarding
•Roll out welcome kits with our story, culture, expectations—and of course, Ohm Solar Solutions swag.
Walk new hires through the “who’s who,” tour the place, and actually make onboarding fun.*
•Handle graceful exits, final pay, and a proper send-off that’s not just an awkward handshake.
•Other onboarding tasks that are just necessary to get stuff done (add/remove email profiles, etc.)
Payroll Stuff (AKA “Don’t Mess This Up”)
•Get employees set up in Paycom/ADP, distribute W-2s and W-4s, and keep it all running on time.
•Submit weekly payroll, survive audits with your sanity intact, and keep garnishments organized.
•Final pay? Check. Deactivation? Done. No drama.
Employee Relations
•Listen to complaints without an eye-roll (or at least hide it well).
•Run investigations that are fair and fast—no dragging things out.
•Support managers with corrective actions that actually help, not hurt.
Benefits (The Real Adulting Stuff)
•Get people signed up (or signed off) medical and 401(k) plans like a champ.
•Reconcile benefit statements and send those spicy 401(k) reports each week.
•Keep employees informed without needing a decoder ring.
Hiring Support
•Write job posts that don’t read like government forms.
•Research market comp so we pay fairly—and don’t lose candidates over pennies.
•Coordinate interviews like a pro and help seal the deal with solid offers.
Compliance, Training & All That Jazz
•Keep us on the right side of labor laws, employee classification rules, and all that fun stuff.
•Make sure training is happening—and tracked—without turning into the training police.
You’re Probably a Fit If You:
•Have 5+ years of HR experience (solar, manufacturing, or energy = a bonus) with a B.S. degree in a related field
•Strong familiarity with California employment law and HR requirements (keep us out of HR jail)
•Speak fluent Paycom or ADP and don’t flinch during audits.
•Have a high radar for BS and a low tolerance for nonsense.
•Know when to bring the empathy—and when to bring the handbook.
Are HR-certified (SHRM, PHR, etc.) or just really good* at what you do.
•Have a knowledge of HR fundamentals (talent acquisition, total rewards, performance management, employee relations, organizational change and effectiveness, learning and development)
•You are comfortable navigating some ambiguity; we wear different hats to just get stuff done (especially being HR of one - working independently)
•Demonstrated ability to exercise discretion, confidentiality and independent judgment in the performance of responsibilities.
•Strong familiarity and knowledge of onboarding/offboarding seasonal contract employees
What You’ll Get
•$90K–$130K/year (based on experience and how much awesome you bring).
•Health, dental, vision, and a 401(k) that doesn’t just talk a big game.
•PTO, holidays, and no guilt-trips about using them.
•A team that’s smart, passionate, and kind of obsessed with solar (in a good way).
•Real ownership of your role—and a say in how things evolve as we grow.
