The Human Resource Office in Point Loma serves as the civilian personnel arm of Commander, Navy Region Southwest, managing federal hiring actions across one of the Navy's most operationally concentrated installations. The HRO coordinates competitive and excepted-service recruitment through USAJobs, adjudicating veterans' preference and Schedule A eligibility alongside career-transition support that connects separating service members with organizations like Hire Heroes USA. Position classification work spans General Schedule, Wage Grade, and Senior Executive Service billets supporting submarine maintenance, information warfare, and research commands on the peninsula. Workforce-development coordination extends to employment-readiness resources that complement the housing and vocational services at Veterans Village of San Diego on Pacific Highway. The office's most complex casework involves negotiating and administering collective bargaining agreements with federal employee unions covering the installation's multi-thousand civilian workforce.
