You’ll work directly with operations and project leaders to build crews for project mobilizations and fill ongoing hiring needs. Your searches will span craft and skilled trades, field operations, construction leadership, project and technical professionals, and corporate and shared services roles as needed.

Key Elements of the Role

Lead intake meetings with hiring managers to confirm requirements, screening criteria, and hiring timelines. Prioritize open requisitions around project schedules and workforce needs.

Coordinate and support interviews, follow up on hiring decisions, and keep candidates and hiring managers informed.
Coordinate reference checks, prepare and route offers for approval, issue approved offers, and track acceptance. Coordinate pre-employment requirements and the handoff to People & Culture.
Use Greenhouse to manage postings, requisitions, candidate stages, interview records, and offers. Report on open roles, pipelines, and upcoming starts, and flag hiring delays early.

What You’ll Bring

At least three years of full-cycle recruiting experience, including independently managing multiple open requisitions from intake through offer.
Experience recruiting for field or skilled trades roles and professional positions in utility construction, linear infrastructure, heavy civil, or a comparable construction or industrial environment.
Hands-on experience using an applicant tracking system to manage requisitions, move candidates through stages, process offers, and run reports. Greenhouse experience is preferred.
Hands-on experience using LinkedIn Recruiter to build targeted searches, organize candidates in projects, and manage outreach and follow-up.
