  • Partner with hiring managers to create strategic staffing plans for both union and non-union roles.

  • Oversee all union hiring, ensuring compliance with labor requirements while delivering a smooth candidate experience.

  • Serve as project manager for key talent initiatives - setting timelines, managing stakeholders, and ensuring execution.

  • Ensure compliance with applicable laws related to recruitment activities, background checks, pay transparency, and job postings.

  • Collaborate with HR and operations leaders to enhance onboarding, accelerate new hire productivity, and improve retention.

  • Measure TA effectiveness through metrics and KPIs, continuously optimizing the hiring process.

  • Manage recruiting systems (including ADP) to drive performance and efficiency.

  • Coach and develop a small, high-performing recruiting team.

  • Partner with senior leadership to execute the broader People strategy with integrity, speed, and adaptability.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree in HR, business, or related field preferred.

  • 10+ years in senior-level Talent Acquisition leadership, with a track record of building and scaling recruiting functions.

  • Experience recruiting for unionized workforces is required.

  • Strong operational and hands-on approach, with the ability to work at both strategic and tactical levels.

  • Project management expertise with proven ability to lead cross-functional initiatives.

  • Experience with recruiting systems (ADP strongly preferred) and data-driven hiring strategies.

  • Skilled in negotiating and managing third-party recruiting agreements.

  • Experience building relationships with trade schools, military, and technical programs to attract top talent.

  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills across all levels of the organization.

  • Demonstrated ability to lead through change in high-growth environments.
