About the role

Quanta Services is seeking a Talent Acquisition & Early Careers Generalist to join our Corporate Talent Acquisition team.

  • Represent Quanta at on-campus and virtual recruiting events, serving as an enthusiastic brand ambassador to attract early career talent;
  • Partner with operating companies and the TA team to align campus recruiting activity with workforce demand and hiring timelines;
  • Maintain the university recruiting calendar, school engagement data, and career fair outcomes tracking.

  • Assist with the collection and processing of onboarding documentation including I-9s, background checks, and drug testing compliance;
  • Contribute to the development of onboarding resources, process documentation, and recruiting toolkits that support consistency and hiring manager preparedness.
• Employer Branding & TA Operations Support
