Labor relations and payroll administrator for West Coast maritime operators
Pacific Maritime Association is a nonprofit collective bargaining agent for ~72 shipping and terminal operators across California, Oregon, and Washington. The tech stack is almost entirely Oracle—database, applications, HCM, and payroll—with legacy infrastructure (Oracle RAC, Exadata, EBS) requiring active maintenance. Recent hiring focus on engineering and QA (4 of 5 open roles) paired with active projects around CI/CD and test automation suggests internal pressure to modernize delivery processes while keeping legacy systems operational.
PMA serves as the multi-employer labor relations representative and administrative backbone for approximately 72 member companies operating West Coast container and bulk-cargo ports. The organization negotiates and administers labor contracts with the International Longshore & Warehouse Union, manages payroll and benefits for port workers, and provides human resources and administrative services to member companies. PMA operates headquarters in San Francisco with regional offices in Long Beach, Port Hueneme, San Diego, Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, and Oakland. West Coast port operations supported by PMA's members generate approximately 12.5 percent of U.S. GDP and support 9 million U.S. jobs.
PMA runs a primarily Oracle technology footprint: Oracle Database, Oracle EBS, Oracle HCM Cloud, Oracle Payroll, Oracle APEX, Oracle Exadata, and Oracle RAC. Infrastructure includes Red Hat Enterprise Linux, VMware, Tomcat, and WebLogic. The stack reflects long-standing enterprise deployment patterns in labor-relations and payroll processing.
Active projects include automated test script development, CI/CD testing infrastructure, safety training content development, technical training programs, and creation of training manuals and reference materials—indicating investment in quality assurance processes and knowledge management.
