Thogai Murugan Real Estates develops and sells plots, villas and apartments across Karur, Namakkal, Dindigul and Trichy. Both companies have their head office in Karur.

- Manage job postings on Naukri, LinkedIn, Indeed and other channels, plus referrals and campus or job-fair hiring, within approved budgets.

HR operations and payroll
- Maintain employee records, attendance and leave, and prepare monthly payroll inputs for both companies.

- Set up and support the Internal Committee under the POSH Act, and run awareness sessions.

Policies, performance and employee relations
- Draft and update HR policies and SOPs: leave, attendance, code of conduct, travel, and cash- and gold-handling discipline.
- Run the performance management cycle (KRAs/KPIs, appraisals, improvement plans) and provide HR inputs for sales incentives.
- Handle grievances, disciplinary matters and domestic inquiries fairly, and document them properly.
- Support employee engagement, training and retention across branches and sites.

Team leadership

- Fluent spoken and written Tamil, and good English.
- Ability to lead and guide another HR professional.
- Willingness to travel regularly to branches and sites across Karur, Namakkal, Erode, Salem, Tiruppur, Dindigul and Trichy.
