Human Resources Coordinator

SUMMARY

Northline Seafoods is a seafood processing company operating both land‑based plant operations in Bellingham, WA and seasonal Alaska operations. We are seeking a highly organized, proactive, and hands‑on HR Coordinator to support day‑to‑day HR functions across recruiting, onboarding, employee relations, payroll coordination, compliance, and seasonal workforce logistics.

This role is critical to ensuring smooth, compliant, and efficient HR execution year‑round in a fast‑paced, high‑volume seasonal environment. The HR Coordinator will report to and work closely with Northline’s HR Manager to implement HR processes, support managers, and ensure the employee lifecycle is aligned with Northline’s mission and values.

You are highly adaptable, resourceful, and comfortable working in environments where priorities shift quickly. You bring strong administrative discipline and are able to operate in an environment where priorities and resources change based on season and business objectives. You know how to create order where processes are still evolving.

You are someone who works well in a high‑volume, fast‑moving environment. You know how to create clear systems and are accurate, detail‑oriented, and consistent with execution. You stay organized without heavy direction, follow through reliably, and know when to elevate or take ownership.

Experience in seafood processing, fisheries, or other seasonal manufacturing or food‑related industrial environments is a strong asset. Equally valuable is experience in startup or scaling environments where you’ve helped build or improve HR processes.
