The Opportunity

We're looking for an  independent recruiter with deep roots in the engineering and construction space to partner with us on a project for several permanent hire positions. The positions will be based across Edmonton and Calgary for a leading construction/engineering client.

Who we're looking for:

• An independent recruiter with a genuine, established network across engineering and construction (civil, structural, mechanical, project management, site supervision, estimating, and related disciplines)
• Someone who understands the technical side of the industry well enough to actually qualify candidates, not just keyword-match resumes
• Strong candidate management and relationship-building skills, this is a 180-style, candidate-side role
• Able to operate independently, with integrity, and move quickly. This search is high-volume and time-sensitive

What you'll own (180/Resource Manager side):

• Sourcing and networking to build a strong, qualified candidate pipeline
• Posting roles and managing inbound candidate flow
• Sharing job descriptions and representing the opportunities accurately to candidates
• Phone screens and interviews to qualify candidates against technical and cultural fit
• Managing the candidate relationship through process, keeping them informed, and engaged
• Supporting offer negotiation, surfacing candidate needs/expectations and helping bring offers to acceptance

We own the client relationship and final placement side. You own the candidates, start to finish.

Engagement terms:

Open to either a contingency or hourly arrangement, depending on fit let's discuss what works for both of us. Given the volume and timeline on this one, we need someone who can start moving immediately.

If you've got the network, the technical fluency, and the candidate-side knowledge, we’d love to hear from you.
