Description:
Human Resources Generalist
Bluegrass Supply Chain Services, LLC
Columbus, OH
Salary Range: 65-75K & 7% bonus potential
About Us
Bluegrass Supply Chain Services provides value-added warehousing and logistics management services across 18 sites in Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana, Alabama, and Georgia. This role supports 80+ team members in OH, IN & KY. We're committed to building rewarding career paths for our people — through the recognition program, hands-on skill development, and real pathways into leadership. At Bluegrass, HR isn't just a support function; it's part of how we build a culture people want to stay for.
Purpose
We're seeking a highly motivated, detail-oriented Human Resources Generalist to support our multi-site distribution network. This role owns day-to-day HR execution across recruitment, employee relations, compliance, and training & development — and plays a direct role in how our frontline workforce experiences Bluegrass. This is a hands-on role: you'll spend meaningful time on the warehouse floor building relationships with site leaders and hourly team members, not just working from a desk.

-
Strong working knowledge of employment law and HR best practices.

Comfortable navigating frontline employee relations issues independently, not just escalating them.
