About The Position

We’re looking for a dynamic recruiting leader who’s ready to own the craft hiring engine that keeps our operations moving. As the Manager, Talent Acquisition 2, you’ll lead a high performing team of recruiters responsible for hiring the skilled craft workforce that builds our products, powers our projects, and represents the backbone of our company. This is a hands on leadership role for someone who knows how to inspire recruiters, strengthen processes, and build deep partnerships across the business. You’ll guide the team through high volume hiring cycles, coach them on effective talent strategies, and ensure that every candidate — from welders to electricians to pipefitters — has a consistent, high quality experience. You’ll also collaborate with our Workforce Development partners during peak periods and on an as-needed basis, lending support at hiring events, technical school engagements, and community workforce initiatives. You won’t own data reporting, but you will drive improvement in key measures like time to fill, conversion rates, and recruiting effectiveness. Travel is required up to 25% of the time for hiring events, workforce development meetings, and outreach activities. If you’re energized by building teams, strengthening pipelines, and helping people find meaningful careers in the skilled trades, this role gives you the platform to lead, innovate, and make a measurable difference.
