The Opportunity

As a Construction Recruiter at Forbes Bros. Group of Companies, you’ll be the primary recruiter for one of our two business units, Major Projects or Recurring Revenue. Based in Denver, you’ll manage its open requisitions across Canada and the United States, from intake and sourcing through offers and pre-employment handoff.

You’ll work directly with operations and project leaders to build crews for project mobilizations and fill ongoing hiring needs. Your searches will span craft and skilled trades, field operations, construction leadership, project and technical professionals, and corporate and shared services roles as needed.

Key Elements of the Role

• Use LinkedIn Recruiter, job boards, referrals, and industry networks to source candidates and build pipelines for recurring and hard-to-fill roles.
• Review applications and résumés, conduct recruiter screens, and present qualified candidates to hiring managers with a clear assessment of how they meet the role requirements.
• Coordinate and support interviews, follow up on hiring decisions, and keep candidates and hiring managers informed.
• Coordinate reference checks, prepare and route offers for approval, issue approved offers, and track acceptance. Coordinate pre-employment requirements and the handoff to People & Culture.
• Use Greenhouse to manage postings, requisitions, candidate stages, interview records, and offers. Report on open roles, pipelines, and upcoming starts, and flag hiring delays early.

What You’ll Bring

• At least three years of full-cycle recruiting experience, including independently managing multiple open requisitions from intake through offer.
• Experience recruiting for field or skilled trades roles and professional positions in utility construction, linear infrastructure, heavy civil, or a comparable construction or industrial environment.
• Hands-on experience using an applicant tracking system to manage requisitions, move candidates through stages, process offers, and run reports. Greenhouse experience is preferred.
• Hands-on experience using LinkedIn Recruiter to build targeted searches, organize candidates in projects, and manage outreach and follow-up.
• Ability to assess candidates against job requirements, communicate clear recommendations to hiring managers, and keep searches moving as priorities shift.
