The Opportunity

We are seeking a high-energy, detail-oriented Talent Advisor to join one of the region’s largest infrastructure and utility providers. This isn’t just a recruiting role; it’s a mission-critical position supporting large-scale reorganization initiatives and high-volume hiring.

• High-Volume Mastery: Proven track record of filling positions on an ongoing basis in a fast-paced environment.
• Technical Tools: Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (ability to manage large datasets/reporting) and Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS).
• Communication: Exceptional interpersonal skills with the “strong personality” needed to keep teams and projects on track.

Preferred Skills (Nice-to-Haves)

• Experience in Utility, Engineering, or Telecommunications sectors.
• Direct experience working with Unionized workforces and labor agreements.
• A “razor-sharp” attention to detail regarding data integrity and reporting.
