The ideal candidate is approachable, highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable working directly with employees in both an office and warehouse environment. This position requires excellent judgment, confidentiality, strong communication skills, and the ability to handle sensitive employee matters professionally.

• Process employee changes, transfers, promotions, pay changes, and separations.
• Maintain HR trackers and prepare reports related to headcount, attendance, turnover, corrective actions, and staffing.
• Work closely with warehouse supervisors and management to address employee and operational concerns.
• Maintain a visible HR presence throughout the distribution center.
• Support employee engagement, recognition, retention, and attendance initiatives.
• Assist with workplace incident documentation and coordinate with Safety and Operations when necessary.
• Maintain confidentiality of all employee, payroll, medical, disciplinary, and company information.
• Ensure consistent application of company policies and support compliance with applicable employment requirements.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for an HR professional who is comfortable being hands-on and present in the operation, not someone who works exclusively from an office.

The successful candidate will be able to build positive relationships with employees while maintaining professionalism and accountability, partner effectively with operations management, address difficult employee situations objectively, and maintain accurate HR documentation in a busy distribution center environment.
