Job description

Our Talent & Workforce Development Manager will Build the Teams That Build America’s Infrastructure

At GreenArrow, we are not just hiring recruiters. We are building the team responsible for finding the leaders who will shape the future of infrastructure across the United States.

We are looking for a Senior Talent & Workforce Development Manager who understands that recruiting is more than filling roles. It is about building trust, protecting culture, developing people, and finding leaders who make teams stronger.

This role will lead full-cycle recruitment for Project Manager-level and above positions across GreenArrow’s family of companies, including utility infrastructure, traffic signals, ITS, roadway electrical systems, and specialized construction operations.

If you are someone who thrives on relationships, loves the challenge of finding hard-to-reach talent, and believes culture matters just as much as capability, we want to talk to you.

Who We Are

GreenArrow unites exceptional infrastructure companies that help keep communities moving safely and efficiently. Our companies support critical infrastructure projects involving traffic signals, roadway systems, electrical infrastructure, and intelligent transportation systems (ITS).

But what truly separates GreenArrow is our culture. We believe great companies are built by great people who genuinely live their values every day.

Our Core Values

People & Family

We believe safety, teamwork, camaraderie, and personal growth matter.

We hire people who protect their teammates, invest in others, and care about the success of the entire team, not just themselves.

What this means in this role:

Every hire impacts culture. You will help build teams that people are proud to be part of.

Customer Commitment

We do what we say. We show up. We solve problems. We become trusted partners.

What this means in this role:

Your customers are our hiring managers and operational leaders. They rely on you to find the right people, not simply the fastest available candidates.

We believe in craftsmanship, accountability, and continuously raising the bar.

What this means in this role:

You are never satisfied with average recruiting. You are constantly improving sourcing strategies, candidate experience, and hiring quality.

Trust

Trust is built through honesty, consistency, transparency, and follow-through.

What this means in this role:

Candidates and leaders trust you because you communicate clearly, follow through on commitments, and represent GreenArrow with integrity.

What You’ll Do

Lead Full-Cycle Recruitment

• Recruit Project Managers, Senior PMs, Estimators, Superintendents, General Managers, and other operational leaders across the GreenArrow portfolio
• Build proactive pipelines instead of reacting when openings occur
• Conduct national searches and engage talent across multiple markets
• Partner directly with operational leadership on hiring strategy

Build Workforce Strategy

• Identify long-term workforce gaps and succession risks
• Develop recruiting strategies tied to future operational growth
• Help shape internship and early-career development programs
• Map talent markets and build relationships before talent hits the market

Represent the GreenArrow Brand

• Attend industry events, conferences, trade associations, and workforce development initiatives
• Build referral networks across the construction and infrastructure industry
• Strengthen GreenArrow’s employer brand in competitive talent markets

Influence the Hiring Process

• Facilitate structured interview processes
• Coach hiring managers on effective interviewing practices
• Lead offer development and candidate closing strategies
• Ensure a high-quality experience for both candidates and leaders

What You Bring

Required Experience

• 5+ years of talent acquisition experience within construction, infrastructure, utilities, electrical, roadway, or related industries
• Proven success in recruiting Project Manager-level and above positions
• Experience managing national or multi-market recruiting efforts
• Strong sourcing expertise, including LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search, networking, and direct outreach

Industry Knowledge

• Deep understanding of construction and infrastructure operations
• Familiarity with union and non-union environments
• Knowledge of utility infrastructure, electrical construction, traffic signals, ITS, or related sectors strongly preferred

Professional Strengths

• Exceptional relationship-building ability
• Strong communication and influencing skills
• Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to build processes and pipelines from the ground up
• High level of professionalism, urgency, and accountability

Why GreenArrow?

Because culture here is not corporate wallpaper.

We are building something long‑term — a company where people are trusted, supported, challenged, and given the opportunity to grow.

We believe the right people change organizations.

And the person in this role will directly influence the future leadership of GreenArrow.
