We are seeking an experienced HR & Skilled Trades Recruiter for a full-time, direct hire opportunity in Greeley, CO with a construction industry employer. This role is ideal for a hands-on HR professional who has direct experience recruiting skilled trades and construction talent and who can also support employee benefits coordination and workplace safety administration.

The primary focus of this position is recruiting dependable field and trades employees, including construction laborers, carpenters, electricians, landscapers, lumber and building materials workers, and other skilled or semi-skilled construction professionals. This is not a general office recruiting role. Candidates must understand how to source, screen, engage, and hire construction and trades talent in a competitive labor market.

This opportunity offers a stable Monday through Friday schedule, competitive hourly pay, and the chance to make a direct impact on workforce growth, employee support, and safety compliance. The work environment is fast-paced, practical, and team-oriented, with supportive leadership that values strong communication, follow-through, and a proactive approach to hiring and employee operations.

• Develop and execute recruiting strategies focused on skilled trades, construction labor, field crews, and related construction industry positions.

• Coordinate employee benefits administration, including enrollment, changes, documentation, and employee support.
• Support safety coordination, including training records, safety onboarding, incident reporting, and OSHA-related documentation.

• Strong communication skills with the ability to interact effectively with field employees, candidates, managers, vendors, and benefits providers.
