Human Resources Manager

Dudley Land Company — Katy, TX Full-Time · In-Office · Exempt · Reports to the President

If you're an HR leader who likes owning the whole function, not just one slice of it, this one's worth a look.

We're looking for a Human Resources Manager to lead people operations for Dudley Land Company and our affiliated companies. This is a hands-on leadership role with real ownership: you'll set the tone for how we hire, pay, support, and grow our team, and you'll have a direct line to the President to make it happen.

We're currently searching nationwide for a candidate willing to go on-site in one of our 3 offices: Oklahoma City, OK, Katy, TX, or Canonsburg, PA.

About Dudley Land Company

For more than 45 years, Dudley Land Company has been a trusted partner to the energy and infrastructure industry, delivering land services across the country from our office in Katy, TX. We've built our reputation on doing the work right and on the relationships that come from decades of showing up. Behind that work is a team we take seriously, and that's where you come in.

What You'll Own

As our HR Manager, you'll lead the HR function end to end and serve as the go-to resource for managers and employees across our companies. Day to day, that means:

• Leading the team. Manage HR team (an HR Specialist & a Recruiter) and select administrative staff, set priorities, run performance reviews, and keep multiple projects moving at once.


• Payroll & compensation. Oversee semi-monthly payroll for a multi-state operation, review timesheets, commissions, and expenses, and keep our compensation practices competitive and FLSA-compliant.


• Benefits & 401(k). Manage our benefits programs and 401(k) plan, negotiate annual renewals with our broker, handle monthly reconciliation, and be the person employees trust to explain their options clearly.


• Talent & hiring. Partner with managers, to understand staffing needs, write and post openings, review resumes, interview, and supervising onboarding that sets new hires up to succeed.


• Employee relations. Be a steady, fair presence; fielding questions, resolving disputes, and handling sensitive matters with discretion and good judgment.


• Compliance & policy. Keep us current and compliant with employment regulations (DOL, FLSA, ACA, EEOC, FMLA), maintain the employee handbook, job descriptions, and procedure manuals, and own our personnel records and reporting.

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field (Master's preferred)


• 3+ years as an HR Manager or Generalist


• Experience running payroll for a multi-state employer


• Working knowledge of labor law and the alphabet that comes with it; DOL, FLSA, ACA, EEOC, FMLA


• Hands-on experience administering employee benefits and 401(k) plans


• A track record in hiring employees and contractors


• Leadership skills to set direction, engage people, and get results; including supervising a team and juggling concurrent projects


• Strong organization and a genuine eye for accuracy, especially with numbers and deadlines


• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work well with people at every level


• Sound judgment, discretion, and the kind of integrity this role requires


• Comfort with Microsoft Office and general office technology

You're organized, level-headed, and motivated by doing things right. You like being the person others count on, and you can move fast without losing the details.

Why Dudley

• A real seat at the table. You'll report directly to the President and have ownership of the function from day one.


• Scope and variety. No two days look the same; you'll touch payroll, benefits, compliance, and employee relations across multiple companies.


• Stability with room to lead. Join an established, well-respected company with 45+ years behind it and the chance to shape how we support our people going forward.


• Competitive pay, benefits, and 401(k).
