With multiple business units and locations, you will have plenty of opportunity to enhance and polish your skills. This is a highly collaborative role where you’ll work with multiple stakeholders on the ground to rollout strategic HR initiatives and create synergies which will achieve key business, profit and people objectives. 

Career growth and opportunity -- Ancon promotes from within whenever possible and encourages all our employees to achieve their full career potential. This role is unique because it's core to our overall operations. We're not only looking for an HR professional with the skill and talent to build and develop this role, we're looking for someone with the runway to grow to the next level. Prove yourself a star and you could continue to build your career with Ancon.

Great environment -- we are proud of our low turnover and the high degree of personal loyalty our employees demonstrate.  We have a friendly, professional team and a family-oriented atmosphere. People like working here at Ancon, as evidenced by our large number of long-tenured team members. 

Commitment to safety and the environment -- we are understandably proud of our highly trained and experienced staff.

Keys to Success

To excel in this role you will have the ability to help us adhere to the many regulations that are imposed at the state and federal level with regard to employment.

About Us

In 1968, after acquiring many years of experience and extensive knowledge of the requirements of stevedore and steamship companies, Conrad Hardin “Connie” formed his own company – Ancon Marine Supply and Salvage Co.  His aim was to provide the Long Beach and Los Angeles harbors with a first class, full-service organization for shipping companies, cruise lines and other seaport customers.  Over the years, he was able to establish Ancon as a dynamic, growing business, to supply general marine equipment and provides a multitude of services.

Connie realized that Ancon had to keep pace with the changing times and progressive methods being implemented by the harbors and industry.  He was, therefore, constantly evaluating customers’ needs and was ever ready to diversify Ancon's base of operations to provide the appropriate service.  Several divisions spawned from Connie’s forward thinking approach to business and created what we now know as Ancon Marine, Inc.  These include Ancon Environmental, Ancon Transportation, and Ancon Marine.
