Job description

We are seeking a confident, experienced Talent Acquisition Manager who understands the construction industry and knows how to find talent in a competitive market.

This is not a position for someone who relies primarily on applicants coming to them. We need a recruiter who is comfortable getting into the market, identifying the right people, approaching passive candidates, and building relationships with professionals who may not be actively looking.

The ideal candidate has recruited within construction, electrical contracting, engineering, skilled trades, industrial, or a closely related environment and understands the urgency that comes with hiring for project-driven organizations. You should be equally comfortable talking with candidates, project and operational leaders, hiring managers, and senior executives.

What You’ll Do

• Manage full-cycle recruiting for professional, technical, operations, and leadership roles.
• Partner with hiring managers to understand hiring needs and priorities.
• Proactively source and connect with qualified and passive candidates.
• Build talent pipelines for current and future openings.
• Recruit across multiple levels, including management and leadership.
• Use LinkedIn Recruiter, referrals, networking, and other sourcing tools to find talent.
• Interview and evaluate candidates for experience and overall fit.
• Manage candidates throughout the interview and offer process.
• Maintain accurate candidate information in the ATS.
• Manage multiple open positions and changing priorities.
• Stay current on the construction talent market and hiring trends.
• Help improve recruiting processes and the overall candidate experience.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience.
• Recruiting experience within the construction industry strongly preferred.
• Experience recruiting within electrical construction, engineering, skilled trades, industrial, or similar industries.
• Strong experience sourcing and recruiting passive candidates.
• Comfortable recruiting professional, technical, operations, and leadership positions.
• Confident working directly with hiring managers and senior leaders.
• Strong communication, organization, and follow-up skills.
• Experience with LinkedIn Recruiter and an ATS.
• Ability to manage multiple searches in a fast-paced environment.
• Bachelor’s degree preferred or equivalent professional experience.
