At Pacific Coast Fresh Co., we’ve been serving the Pacific Northwest’s food scene since 1977. What started as a family-run produce company has grown into one of the region’s top independent food distributors — supplying everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to dairy, proteins, and specialty goods. We believe in local roots, bold flavors, and unmatched service.
We’re not just delivering food — we’re building teams that make it all happen. Ready to be part of it?
You’re not “just HR.” You’re the steady hand behind the scenes and the go-to resource when people need clarity, support, or straight answers. As our HR Generalist, you’ll help shape the full employee experience — from recruiting and onboarding to benefits, performance conversations, and culture initiatives.
You’ll partner closely with employees and leaders to keep processes clean, communication clear, and people supported.
Recruiting & Onboarding:
Partner with hiring managers to attract, interview, and onboard great people. Create a welcoming, organized start that sets employees up for success.
Benefits & Leave Support:
Guide employees through benefits enrollment, eligibility, and leave processes. Keep everything compliant and running smoothly.
Payroll & HRIS Support:
Serve as backup for payroll processing and reporting. Maintain accurate employee records, including job changes, compensation updates, deductions, and leaves. Details matter here — and you know it.
Employee Relations & Performance Support:
Help managers apply policies consistently and confidently. Support coaching conversations, documentation, and performance practices. Address questions and concerns with professionalism and practical solutions.
Compliance & Workforce Monitoring:
Monitor attendance, meal and rest periods, and coordinate follow-up when needed to ensure compliance and consistency.
Culture & Engagement:
Support initiatives that strengthen engagement, communication, and workplace connection. Contribute to HR communications, events, and appreciation efforts that keep our culture strong.

Strong Communication Skills: Clear, professional, and approachable — able to connect effectively at all levels of the organization.
Organization & Follow-Through: You manage multiple priorities without losing track of the details.
Sound Judgment: You integrate policies, business needs, and common sense when making decisions.
