Together We Build – Partnership, Innovation, Excellence, and Safety at Kelso Industries

We’re not just offering a job, we’re inviting you to be part of a team built on PARTNERSHIP, INNOVATION, EXCELLENCE, and SAFETY.

• PARTNERSHIP means we work together with trust, loyalty, and an owner mindset, always striving for win-win outcomes.
• INNOVATION drives us to think differently and create real value in everything we do.
• EXCELLENCE pushes us to set high expectations and deliver exceptional results.
• SAFETY is our foundation—both physical and psychological safety matter every single day.
  
  

If you’re looking for a place where you can grow your career, be valued for who you are, and contribute to something meaningful, we’d love to have you on our team.

The Kelso Industries company is comprised of 26 (and growing) market-leading operating companies with over 2,600 employees that deliver unmatched HVAC, mechanical, refrigeration, plumbing, and electrical solutions. We are actively building the nation’s preferred technical service partnership for commercial MEP+ ecosystems, empowering industrial, commercial, and institutional clients—including Fortune 500 companies and other industry leaders across the United States—with reliable, innovative service.

• Recruiter Notice: We respectfully ask external recruiters and staffing agencies to refrain from submitting candidates for this position. We only accept direct applications from individuals.***
  
  

At Kelso Industries, we’re building a best-in-class recruiting strategy to support rapid growth across our 29 operating companies, and we’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist to help lead the charge for an entire division of 5 to 10 companies.

This role is more than just filling requisitions. You’ll own the full-cycle recruiting process from sourcing to onboarding and partner closely with hiring managers across multiple business units to deliver a consistent, high-quality experience. If you’ve recruited across decentralized or multi-brand organizations before, you’ll feel right at home.

You’ll be instrumental in shaping a unified recruiting experience as we scale and refine our systems, playbooks, and brand across the entire Kelso portfolio.

What You’ll Do

• Own the full recruitment process across a portfolio of 5 to 10 operating companies including sourcing, screening, interviewing, offers, and onboarding
• Partner directly with divisional and company leaders to understand hiring needs and develop tailored recruitment strategies
• Source passive and active candidates through LinkedIn Recruiter, job boards, referrals, and strategic outreach
• Act as a brand ambassador to improve and align employer branding across operating companies
• Leverage our ATS (Greenhouse) to drive efficiency, maintain data integrity, and enhance the candidate pipeline
• Help develop and refine the centralized Kelso Recruiting Playbook to drive consistent hiring processes across all 29 companies
• Build and maintain a talent pipeline across job functions from skilled trades to corporate leadership
• Deliver a seamless experience for candidates and hiring managers that reflects our values and culture
• Ensure hiring practices comply with employment laws and internal policies
• Collaborate with the broader People and Talent team to elevate Kelso's recruiting operations
  
  

What You Bring

Minimum Requirements:

• 3+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally supporting multiple business units, locations, or entities
• Proven track record sourcing passive candidates using LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed, and other platforms
• Experience managing 10+ requisitions at various levels simultaneously
• Skilled in using Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), preferably Greenhouse
• Excellent written and verbal communication, relationship building, and project management skills
• Strong understanding of current hiring trends, labor markets, and compensation practices
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity in a fast-paced, high-growth, multi-company environment
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience recruiting in construction, trades, or MEP+ industries
• Experience with HCM platforms such as ADP
• Experience recruiting for a range of roles from laborers to C-suite
  
  

Why Join Kelso Industries
