Company Overview

Aertssen Logistics USA, Inc. is a fast-paced, operations-driven company where nearly 90% of our workforce comprises nonexempt, hourly team members.

Position Summary

We seek a hands-on, resilient Human Resources Manager to lead and support all HR functions at our Savannah, Georgia, facility.

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.
Support training and development initiatives for hourly employees and front-line supervisors.
Partner with leadership on relocation services, both domestic and international
Maintain accurate employee records and documentation in accordance with company policies and legal requirements.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business, or related field (or equivalent work experience) required, Master's preferred.
5+ years of progressive HR experience, including at least 2 years in a warehouse, manufacturing, or distribution environment.
Demonstrated ability to work effectively with international colleagues, especially those whose first language is not English.
Comfortable providing direct, well-informed HR counsel to senior leadership, even in high-pressure situations.
Strong business judgment and emotional intelligence, with the ability to stay calm, professional, and solutions-oriented when faced with pushback.
Deep knowledge of HR compliance, particularly related to nonexempt/hourly workforces.
Excellent interpersonal and communication skills with a practical, problem-solving approach.
Proven ability to build relationships across all levels of an organization.
Bilingual (English/Spanish) is a plus; Dutch language skills are not required, but cultural sensitivity is essential.
