About the role
The company is seeking a recruiter to join their team. They are a fast-growing infrastructure contractor building mission-critical practices across hyperscale data centers, power, and industrial projects. The position reports directly to the Head of People.
Responsibilities
- Search-style, full-cycle recruiting for Project Managers, Senior PMs, and Project Executives.
- Recruit superintendents, QA/QC, safety, VDC/BIM, scheduling, estimating, and project controls talent on data center sites.
- Full leadership teams on compressed timelines. Staff the whole team, not one req at a time.
- Target lists and passive outreach. Map named General Contractors (GC) and trade contractor rosters and build relationships with people who aren't looking.
- Technical screening across foundations and heavy civil, medium voltage electrical, and telecom-adjacent civil scope. Tell the candidate who ran the scope from the one who coordinated around it.
- Hiring manager partnership. Work with operations leadership, up to the SVP level, to turn project needs into clear role scope and level.
- Confidential conversations about unannounced projects and unnamed clients.
- Pipeline health and time-to-fill reporting in a market where competitors are chasing the same people.
- A dedicated onboarding team takes it from offer acceptance.
Requirements
- 8+ years recruiting in construction, energy infrastructure, industrial, or manufacturing automation and controls.
- Hands-on experience recruiting for data center or mission critical construction.
- A track record filling PM, Sr PM, and PX roles across multiple technical scopes on the same project type.
- Headhunting in your DNA. An executive or retained search background is a strong plus.
- Real construction fluency. Can hold your own in a conversation about vault handoffs, switchgear commissioning, or mass excavation sequencing, and notice when a candidate is talking around a gap.
- Experience recruiting in union environments (strongly preferred).
- Experience in hypergrowth or new-market expansion.
