The Opportunity

Sterling Site Access Solutions is looking for an experienced Talent Acquisition Partner to lead professional recruiting across the organization and help shape a best-in‑class Talent Acquisition function. This is an opportunity to join a growing company in a dynamic industry, tell a compelling story in the talent market, and make a visible impact on how Sterling attracts, hires, and retains great people.

This is both a strategic and hands‑on role. Recruiting volume will flex with business needs, but the role is designed to provide meaningful ownership of professional recruiting while also giving this person the opportunity to improve the strategy, processes, tools, and partnership model for Talent Acquisition. You'll work closely with HR, Operations, and hiring leaders to understand the business, build proactive sourcing strategies, attract and engage exceptional talent, and deliver a strong candidate and hiring manager experience.

We're looking for a strong recruiter who brings experience, curiosity, and drive, someone who wants to understand the business, build trusted relationships, and grow into a true talent advisor to our leaders. Sterling is a growing company in a dynamic industry, and this role offers the opportunity to grow your career while making a meaningful impact on how we attract, hire, and retain great talent.

What You'll Do

• Own professional recruiting from intake and sourcing through offer acceptance and handoff to HR for onboarding.
• Build trusted relationships with hiring managers, understand their business needs, and advise them on talent, market conditions, compensation, and selection strategy.
• Develop proactive sourcing strategies and build pipelines for critical and recurring roles.
• Manage our career site, job postings, and talent attraction and employment branding efforts.
• Deliver an exceptional candidate experience and keep searches moving with urgency.
• Use recruiting metrics and market insights to continuously improve our approach.
• Partner with HR and Operations to build scalable Talent Acquisition strategies, processes, reporting, tools, and hiring practices that support Sterling's growth.
• Contribute to broader people initiatives focused on talent attraction, acquisition, and retention, helping Sterling strengthen how we compete for, select, and retain great talent.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of full‑cycle professional recruiting experience.
• Proven ability to proactively source and close talent, not simply manage applicants.
• Strong hiring manager partnership and influencing skills.
• Business curiosity and the ability to understand the work behind the job description.
• Confidence to advise and appropriately challenge leaders when the search strategy needs to change.
• Strong organization, follow‑through, and candidate care.
• Experience with an ATS, LinkedIn Recruiter, and modern sourcing tools.
• Experience in construction, manufacturing, engineering, or another industrial environment is a plus.

What We Offer

• Comprehensive health coverage, including medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Health Savings Account and Flexible Spending Account options to support healthcare and dependent care needs.
• Company‑paid life insurance benefit of $25,000.
• Optional voluntary benefits, including supplemental life insurance, disability coverage, and pet insurance.
• Generous paid time off, including company holidays, vacation, personal time, and parental leave.
• Safe Harbor 401(k) retirement plan with a 3% employer contribution.
• A supportive culture that values employee well‑being, professional growth, collaboration, and work‑life balance.

Why Sterling?

Sterling is a leader in sustainable site access solutions, supporting critical energy infrastructure and large‑scale construction projects across the country. Our work combines manufacturing, engineering, field operations, and innovation to solve real‑world access challenges.

But what makes this opportunity particularly exciting is where Sterling is going.

Through our OwnerUpprogram, eligible employees have an opportunity to share in Sterling's long‑term success, not just work for it. We are investing in employee development, strengthening how we attract and grow talent, and building a culture centered on accountability, continuous improvement, collaboration, and shared success.

For someone in Talent Acquisition, that means you will have a meaningful story to bring to market: a company with strong purpose, real momentum, compelling employee ownership potential, and leaders who are serious about building a talent function that matches the quality of the business.

This Could Be Your Next Role

If you're an experienced recruiter who is ready for more ownership, more business partnership, and the opportunity to help build a Talent Acquisition function, not simply inherit one, we'd love to meet you.
