Are you a transportation-savvy HR leader who thrives in high-growth, high-performance environments? Ready to build structure from the ground up while helping scale one of the region’s fastest-growing transportation companies?
We’re looking for a Human Resources Director to lead and formalize HR operations for a company that’s gone from startup to 300+ vehicles and 350+ employees in just a few years. You’ll be the architect of HR policies, compliance systems, and workforce strategies—especially focused on passenger transportation (drivers, dispatch, field teams)—with oversight that also supports disaster response and environmental services divisions.
This is a roll-up-your-sleeves opportunity for someone who knows the industry, understands DOT compliance, and can bring leadership, clarity, and structure to a growing team.

  • Ensure DOT & labor law compliance across all operations
  • Lead hiring, onboarding, and performance management for drivers and field staff
  • Oversee payroll, benefits, and compensation tracking

  • Support growth, acquisitions, and expansion into new markets
What You Bring:
  • 8–10+ years in HR, with 3+ in a leadership role
  • Experience in the transportation industry is a must (buses, shuttles, or motorcoach preferred)
  • Deep understanding of DOT and Louisiana employment laws
  • Strong communication, independence, and a builder’s mindset
  • HR certifications (SHRM-SCP, SPHR) preferred
What You’ll Get:
  • Highly competitive pay based on experience and results
  • Basic benefits (health, limited PTO)
  • In-office role based in Belle Chasse, LA (occasional travel to Lake Charles, Beaumont, etc.)
  • No-nonsense, performance-driven culture with strong morale and opportunity for growth
About the Company:
  • Founded in 2019, our client has grown from a regional disaster and safety services firm into a multi-division powerhouse, with transportation now leading the charge. In just a few years, they’ve built a fleet of 300+ vehicles and have moved passengers for major events and industrial businesses, professional sports teams, tour and wedding companies. And they’re not slowing down
