Director of Human Resources

REV Copack is a beverage co-packing facility in Pittston, PA running variety pack assembly, cartoning, and e-commerce fulfillment for Monster Energy, Celsius, Kirkland, and other anchor brands. We're a 50-person operation with the production volume of a much larger plant — which means every role here carries real weight. This is a solo HR seat. You will own the function. You'll report directly to the CEO, sit ten steps from the production floor, and see the impact of your work in days, not quarters. There is no corporate HR umbrella, no shared services team, no layer between you and the decisions. If you've been waiting for a role where you can actually run HR instead of administering someone else's policies, this is that role. The right candidate has 3–5 years of HR experience in a manufacturing, CPG, or 3PL environment, knows how to manage a hourly and temp-heavy workforce, and is comfortable being the most senior HR person in the building from day one. What you'll actually do - Run the full talent pipeline for hourly production, leads, and salaried roles — including managing our temp-to-perm relationships with staffing agencies and tightening the conversion funnel. - - Own employee relations on the floor. Investigate, document, and resolve issues directly with shift supervisors and the operations team. You'll be visible on the production floor, not behind a desk. - - Keep us audit-ready for client and regulatory audits — Monster Energy and other anchor clients hold us to a high bar on staffing documentation, training records, and labor compliance. You're the one who makes sure we pass. - - Manage workers' comp, OSHA recordkeeping, and safety program coordination in partnership with operations leadership. - - Administer payroll coordination, benefits, profit sharing, and 401(k) — including our annual healthcare renewal and open enrollment. - - Support a bilingual workforce. Spanish fluency is strongly preferred; if you don't have it, you'll need a clear plan for how you'll communicate effectively with our hourly team. - - Maintain compliance with federal, PA, and Luzerne County employment law — including I-9/E-Verify, FMLA, ADA, FLSA, and PA-specific wage and hour requirements. - - Build the systems we don't have yet. Job descriptions, performance review cadence, training matrices, onboarding playbooks, retention metrics. We're past the "no HR" stage and into the "build it right" stage. You're the architect. - - Partner with the CEO and operations leadership on org design, headcount planning, and the people side of growth decisions. - - 3–5 years of progressive HR experience, with at least 2 years in a manufacturing, food/beverage, CPG, or warehousing environment - - Direct experience managing an hourly workforce — not just salaried/corporate populations - - Working knowledge of FMLA, ADA, FLSA, OSHA recordkeeping, workers' comp, and I-9/E-Verify - - Comfort being the only HR person in the building — self-directed, decisive, and able to operate without a playbook handed to you - - Proficiency with HRIS and payroll systems (we'll discuss our current stack in the interview) - - Strongly preferred: - - Spanish fluency - - SHRM-CP or PHR certification - - Experience managing temp agency relationships and temp-to-perm conversion programs - - Multi-shift operation experience (we run extended hours during peak production) - - Experience with client or third-party audits in a regulated production environment - - Nice to have: - - SHRM-SCP or SPHR - - Experience with profit-sharing plan administration - - Background in lean / continuous improvement environments - - Medical, dental, and vision coverage with company-paid premium share - - 401(k) with company match - - Profit sharing eligibility after 90 days - - Annual performance bonus - - Paid time off plus paid holidays - - Life and disability insurance - - Direct line to the CEO and a real seat at the leadership table -
