Loureiro Engineering Associates • Plainville, CT

28d

About The Position

Loureiro Engineering Associates is seeking a Talent Acquisition & Outreach Partner to expand our talent pipeline, strengthen our external presence, and proactively attract top talent across all divisions. We are seeking a highly motivated, relationship-driven Talent Acquisition & Outreach Partner to expand our talent pipeline, strengthen our external presence, and proactively attract top talent across all divisions. This is not a traditional “post-and-wait” recruiting role. We need someone who knows how to go out and find the right people, build meaningful partnerships, and open doors before opportunities even arise. The ideal candidate brings a sales, marketing, or headhunter-type mindset, thrives on outreach and engagement, and contributes ideas and strategies - not just execution. This role works closely with leadership, division leaders, and hiring managers to support workforce planning, pipeline development, and external visibility. Prior experience in engineering, environmental, construction, or professional services industries is strongly preferred, especially if the candidate already has established networks or recruiting contacts. At Loureiro, you won’t just work for the company- you’ll own a part of it. As a 100% employee-owned company, our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) gives you a company-funded ownership stake that grows over time, so when we succeed, you share in the rewards.

Requirements

• Prior experience in engineering, environmental consulting, construction, or technical recruiting strongly preferred, especially with external networking or community engagement.
• Proven ability to build relationships, influence others, and drive results through proactive outreach.
• Understanding of industry trends and workforce needs across professional services sectors.
• Outgoing, confident, and energized by meeting new people and creating connections.
• A relationship-builder with a sales or marketing mindset—someone who enjoys opening doors and representing the organization externally.
• A self-starter who takes initiative, brings forward new ideas, and operates comfortably with a high level of independence.
• Strong communicator with the presence to interact effectively with professionals at all levels.
• Resourceful and curious, able to navigate unfamiliar environments to identify new opportunities or networks.
• Someone who thrives in a dynamic environment, adapts quickly, and helps shape how we grow our talent brand and presence.

Responsibilities

• Expand the organization’s talent pipeline by building relationships with universities, technical schools, professional associations, and workforce programs.
• Actively source and engage qualified candidates across all levels and divisions through direct outreach, networking, and industry events.
• Strengthen and elevate our employer brand through presence at events, consistent communication, and strategic recommendations to leadership.
• Develop and execute outreach strategies that anticipate staffing needs, including market mapping, pipeline planning, and building talent communities.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for external recruiting partners, community organizations, and career-related groups.
• Recommend new approaches, platforms, events, and sourcing methods to attract diverse talent.
• Partner with hiring managers and the internal recruiting team to understand workforce needs and support full-cycle recruiting efforts.
• Plan, coordinate, and represent the company at career fairs, networking events, information sessions, and outreach presentations.
• Track outreach effectiveness and maintain communication pipelines to ensure follow-through and relationship development.

Benefits

• Employee Ownership, Real Impact: Through our ESOP, you gain a meaningful financial stake in the company’s success.
