Arconic is seeking a Human Resources Business Partner (HRBP) based at its plant in Davenport, Iowa. This role reports to the HR Manager.

Arconic's Rolled Products offers a range of highly-differentiated aluminum sheet and plate products for the aerospace, automotive, commercial transportation, brazing, and industrial markets. We are at the forefront of capturing growing demand for aluminum sheet as the North American auto industry continues shifting to electric vehicles and light-weighting.

Since it opened in 1948, Arconic's Davenport Works has been at the forefront of American manufacturing. Located on the banks of the Mississippi River, the plant employs over two thousand employees and is a focal point of the global rolled aluminum industry, with a significant percent of revenues coming from exports. Through continued modernization, including several hundred-million-dollar investments over the past five years alone, Davenport Works has maintained its position as the world's premier aerospace supply plant, and is today the hub of Arconic's multi-billion-dollar aerospace and automotive business.
