HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGERPosition: HR ManagerLocation: Rincon, GA
Job Type: Full-time, Exempt, 100% On-site
Annual Salary Range: $85,000 - $100,000
Reports To: Finance & Administration Director
Company Overview
Aertssen Logistics USA, Inc. is a fast-paced, operations-driven company where nearly 90% of our workforce comprises nonexempt, hourly team members. Headquartered in Belgium, we are part of a global organization with a diverse leadership team. We are committed to maintaining a productive, compliant, and employee-focused work environment that supports both operational excellence and team member satisfaction.
Position Summary
We seek a hands-on, resilient Human Resources Manager to lead and support all HR functions at our Savannah, Georgia, facility. The ideal candidate will have strong experience working with hourly, nonexempt populations in warehouse or industrial environments and the confidence to operate independently while partnering with a high-performing operations team.
This role requires someone who can build relationships, offer sound HR guidance, and stand firm when needed—while also understanding that not every recommendation will be adopted. To succeed here, you’ll need the presence and credibility to influence without authority, and the self-assurance to stay grounded even when priorities don’t align. If you’re energized by the challenge of shaping HR's role in a fast-moving, operations-first culture, this role offers a real opportunity to lead positive change over time.
Responsibilities
- Partner with warehouse and operations leadership to support workforce planning, staffing, internal communications, and employee engagement strategies.
- Manage full-cycle HR functions including recruiting, onboarding, attendance, benefits, performance management, investigations, and policy enforcement.
- Collaborate with international leadership to align HR practices with global standards while maintaining compliance with U.S. employment laws.
- Ensure compliance with all federal, state, and local employment laws, including wage & hour, FMLA, ADA, and EEO requirements.
- Lead employee relations efforts by providing coaching, conducting investigations, and resolving conflicts fairly and consistently, and with empathy.
- Build scalable HR systems and practices for a growing organization.
- Monitor timekeeping and attendance policies; address trends and drive corrective actions as needed.
- Process a bi-weekly payroll with accuracy and understanding of payroll tax regulations.
