About The Position

Serves as the dedicated on-site Human Resources partner for an assigned lodge community, living and working alongside the team on rotation. This role owns employee relations, investigations, and supervisor coaching at the site level; partners with Talent Acquisition and Operations on staffing, onboarding, and retention; and ensures policy and employment law are applied consistently across every department. Where corporate HR sets the framework, this role makes it real for the people actually working the rotation. Target Hospitality is a leading provider of specialty rental and hospitality services, delivering turnkey workforce housing, culinary, and facility management solutions to remote and challenging environments across North America. We take pride in building not just accommodations, but communities — and that same commitment to people extends to our own team. We believe that a great guest experience starts with a great employee experience, and we invest in the people who make that happen every day.
