This role is based at our Headquarters in Falls Church, VA and is a key member of the Human Resources leadership team.

As HITT continues to expand nationally, including through recent acquisition activity, recruiting plays a critical role in enabling our ability to deliver complex projects, enter new markets, and build high-performing teams. This role oversees talent acquisition across construction (Operations, Site Operations and specialty roles), corporate functions, early career programs, and craft recruiting-ensuring a consistent, high-quality approach to hiring across the organization. Responsibility spans all 16 markets where HITT has an office, as well as project locations nationwide where HITT is engaged, requiring a scalable and adaptable approach to recruiting across geographies.

A key priority for this role will be building and integrating HITT's craft recruiting capability, establishing the strategy and processes needed to effectively hire skilled trades talent as our self-perform work continues to grow. In addition, this role will lead the evolution of HITT's recruiting operating model-bringing greater clarity to service expectations, prioritization, and alignment with the business-while maintaining a high-quality experience for hiring managers and candidates.

The ideal candidate is both strategic and hands-on-comfortable setting direction while staying close to execution. You bring strong judgment, a deep understanding of recruiting in a complex environment, and experience building or evolving recruiting functions. Prior experience in construction recruiting, including craft or skilled trades hiring, is required.

HITT, founded in 1937, has grown into one of the nation's top 10 largest general contractors. With more than 3,000 team members and $13B in annual revenue, we deliver complex projects nationwide and are known for our strong culture, long-standing relationships, and commitment to excellence.
