HR Generalist

$75k - $90k

LHH

HR Generalist

Location: San Diego, CA 92111 Type: Direct Hire Schedule: Onsite Salary: $75,000 - $90,000, depending on experience

The organization is seeking an HR Generalist who can support a large, fast-moving workforce while partnering closely with leadership to strengthen daily HR operations. This role requires a professional who is confident navigating employee-facing issues, maintaining accurate documentation, and ensuring that HR processes run smoothly across multiple departments. The environment is dynamic, people-driven, and best suited for someone who is comfortable operating with both structure and adaptability.

Key Responsibilities
  • Serving as a consistent point of contact for employee questions, workplace concerns, and policy interpretation in a high-volume environment
  • Supporting leaders with coaching, documentation, attendance matters, and escalation pathways
  • Providing clear, consistent guidance while maintaining professionalism with both hourly and supervisory staff
  • Coordinating interview logistics, onboarding steps, and new-hire paperwork with accuracy and organization
  • Overseeing employment file maintenance, verification requirements, and compliance-related documentation
  • Conducting structured onboarding experiences that ensure readiness on day one
  • Reviewing timekeeping discrepancies and partnering with supervisors to resolve pay-impacting issues
  • Ensuring adherence to internal standards around scheduling, attendance tracking, and workforce accountability
  • Supporting routine audits and reinforcing accurate data management across systems
  • Assisting employees with benefits questions and guiding them through required steps during leave-related processes
  • Preparing documentation, tracking deadlines, and communicating requirements clearly and confidentially
  • Preparing HR data, trend summaries, and routine reports requested by leadership
  • Maintaining consistent compliance practices through detailed recordkeeping and timely follow-through
  • Supporting training coordination, safety communications, and broader HR initiatives as the team continues to expand
What the Team Values in a Candidate
  • Strong HR fundamentals with the ability to apply them in a busy, operational setting
  • Professionalism and steady communication in environments that require frequent guidance and interpersonal interactions
  • Comfort supporting a workforce that may include multilingual or field-based employees; bilingual Spanish remains highly beneficial
  • High attention to detail, particularly around documentation and compliance-driven tasks
  • Familiarity with HR systems, timekeeping tools, and Microsoft Office
  • Experience in high-movement industries—such as landscaping, hospitality, facilities, construction, or other service-driven environments—is advantageous but not required
Why This Role Stands Out
  • Direct visibility to leadership and involvement in strengthening HR workflows
  • Opportunity to contribute to a rapidly maturing HR structure
  • A stable schedule with meaningful daily impact
  • Environment where HR plays a central role in supporting both people and operations
