• Conduct screening calls, lead interviews, and coordinate selection processes, ensuring alignment with both role criteria and ACCIONA’s values.
• Manage end-to-end recruitment administration, including interview coordination, reference checks, background verification, and offer preparation.
• Collaborate with colleges, universities, and industry groups to support early talent pipelines and participate in broader HR initiatives that foster long-term strategic partnerships.
• Represent ACCIONA at career fairs, industry events, and employer branding initiatives to elevate our visibility and position as an employer of choice.
• Support onboarding efforts to ensure smooth transitions for new hires and alignment with company policies, culture, and expectations.
• Provide support in other areas of HR, including training coordination, compliance activities, and employee engagement.
• Champion an exceptional candidate experience at every stage of the recruitment journey and help reinforce ACCIONA’s employer brand across Canada.
• Other duties as required.

Experience/Qualifications

• Degree or diploma in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field, or a combination of education and experience.
• Demonstrated experience in full-cycle recruiting, ideally in the construction, engineering, or infrastructure sector.
• Experience recruiting both technical and support roles.
• Experience recruiting candidates across various levels, from entry-level to senior leadership roles.
• Experience with a variety of interview methods and techniques, including structured, behavioral, and competency-based interviews.
• Familiarity with Workday or another HRIS/recruitment system is strongly preferred.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Experience coordinating onboarding, reference checking, and pre-employment documentation.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple roles and priorities in a fast-paced environment.
