Human Resources Director

Head of HR & Administration (HR Director)

Premier Trucking Group | Tashkent, Uzbekistan | Full-time, on-site

ABOUT US

Premier Trucking Group (PTG) is a U.S. OTR dry van carrier headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, with its operations office in Tashkent. Our Tashkent team runs dispatch, safety, fleet, updates, accounting, and HR for our U.S. fleet. The company has doubled in size over the past two years and is growing from 80 to 500 trucks.

THE ROLE

We are looking for a Head of HR & Administration to take full ownership of the people side of the company: office employees and U.S. truck drivers. You will report directly to the owner and lead the HR division, a team of around 10 people today with new sections to build.

Your goal: office staff and drivers who are hired, trained, and retained, and an HR division that runs on clear metrics and written procedures without the owner's daily involvement.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Lead the HR & Administration division: Office HR, Driver HR, Internal Communications, Training & Development, and Performance & Productivity

• Set weekly targets and metrics for every section, run weekly planning meetings, and act on any drop in results

• Build one hiring standard for the whole company and approve office candidates before the final interview with the owner

• Plan driver hiring month by month against fleet growth, and lead driver recruiting: channels, funnel, conversion, and cost per hire

• Launch a driver retention program and reduce the number of trucks standing without a driver

• Run staffing analysis and maintain the company staffing plan as we grow

• Build onboarding, training, and position folders (duties, procedures, metrics, and training materials) for every key role

• Build a company-wide metrics system and bonus schemes linked to results

• Handle conflicts and disciplinary matters on the facts, in line with the Labor Code of Uzbekistan

• Hire leaders for the divisions the owner currently runs personally

• Report weekly to the owner: numbers, risks, and decisions needed

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• First 90 days: a full audit of the division, metrics in place for every HR section, an approved driver hiring plan and hiring standard, and the owner out of day-to-day HR

• First year: every division hires by one standard, every position has metrics, turnover is going down, and new division heads are in place

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• 3+ years in HR, including at least 1 year leading an HR or recruiting team of 4 or more people

• Full-cycle hiring experience, including high-volume hiring and hiring of managers

• Experience in a growing company of 50 to 300+ employees, building HR processes from scratch or rebuilding them

• Knowledge of the Labor Code of Uzbekistan and personnel records management

• Experience designing KPIs and motivation systems, onboarding, and training

• Strong Google Workspace skills, especially Google Sheets; sourcing through hh.uz, LinkedIn, and Telegram; ATS or CRM experience

• English at C1 level or higher, spoken and written, and fluent Russian

• You manage by numbers, delegate through clear procedures, and come with solutions, not problems

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience hiring truck drivers or dispatchers for U.S. trucking

• Back office or BPO experience with U.S. companies

• Knowledge of CDL, MVR, PSP, DQ files, and the FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse

• Experience with Indeed and trucking job boards, a TMS, and AI tools

• Experience in a company that doubled in size during your time there

• Uzbek language

WHAT WE OFFER

• Direct work with the owner and real authority over your division

• The chance to build an HR system from the ground up in a company growing to 500 trucks

• Work for an American business with an international team

• Hands-on support from external management advisors implementing a proven management system

SCHEDULE AND LOCATION

• On-site in our Tashkent office, full-time

CV review, a 20-minute phone call, a competency interview, a case study, a final meeting with the owner, and a reference check.
