Senior Full Life Cycle Recruiter - Amarillo

Fermi Inc•Amarillo, TX

2d•Onsite

About The Position

Fermi America is developing Project Matador, a ~17 GW private power generation campus in Carson County, Texas, built to meet the surging energy demands of AI compute infrastructure. The campus integrates natural gas, nuclear, and solar generation at a scale and speed rarely attempted in U.S. power development. Fermi is assembling the engineering, construction, and commercial teams needed to take this project from FEED through commercial operation, alongside the broader corporate functions required to run a company of this ambition. This is a build phase: headcount is scaling quickly across highly technical and highly specialized roles, and the team needs a hands-on, full life cycle recruiter who can own requisitions end-to-end and move fast without sacrificing candidate quality. The Senior Recruiter, Full Life Cycle (FLC) is an individual contributor role responsible for owning full-cycle recruiting on a portfolio of open requisitions spanning construction, financial, commercial, and other business functions. This person will run their own desk — intake, sourcing, screening, interview coordination, offer — while partnering closely with the Manager, Talent Acquisition on process and with hiring managers on role strategy. This is a strong fit for an experienced full life cycle recruiter who has worked construction, industrial, or energy roles alongside corporate/professional roles, is comfortable sourcing directly rather than relying solely on inbound applicants, and wants to help build a recruiting function inside a fast-scaling company rather than execute inside an already-mature one.

Requirements

5+ years of full life cycle recruiting experience, with direct sourcing (not solely applicant-review) as a core part of the role
Experience recruiting across multiple functions simultaneously — ideally construction, technical, or industrial roles alongside corporate roles such as finance or commercial
Comfortable managing a high-volume requisition load independently with minimal oversight
Strong candidate communication and interview coordination skills
Experience with an ATS and standard sourcing tools (LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search, etc.)
This will be an in office role in Amarillo.
