About Us
We are a long-established leader in the food service and hospitality logistics industry, delivering high-quality culinary and service solutions to major airline and retail partners across dozens of sites nationwide. Built on decades of operational excellence and a commitment to quality, reliability, and teamwork, we pride ourselves on being a workplace where people can grow, lead, and make a real impact.

About the Role
We're seeking a bilingual (English/Spanish) HR professional to serve as the sole on-site HR presence at our San Diego facility.

You'll be a key partner in supporting recruitment, onboarding, employee relations, attendance/timekeeping, and HR compliance, while helping foster a positive, productive workplace culture. The ideal candidate is highly organized, detail-oriented, service-oriented, and able to juggle multiple priorities while maintaining professionalism and strict confidentiality.

Support the full recruiting and onboarding lifecycle for new hires
Initiate background checks and drug screenings
Support payroll processing and timekeeping/attendance tracking
Track and administer leaves of absence
Maintain accurate, confidential personnel records and employee files, including data entry
Prepare weekly open positions reports
Respond to employee inquiries and serve as a day-to-day HR point of contact
Assist with Workers' Compensation and liability reporting
Handle general HR administrative duties and recordkeeping
Take on other duties and projects as assigned
What You Bring
High School Diploma or equivalent
2–4 years of experience in an HR clerk/HR assistant capacity
Bilingual English/Spanish required
Strong attention to detail and excellent organizational skills
Comfortable working independently with minimal supervision, and able to interact confidently with all levels of management
General knowledge of Federal, State, and County labor laws
