Construction Leadership Recruiter

Enterprise Leadership Recruiting | Mission-Critical Growth

Ace Electric is a 50-year electrical contractor delivering complex mission-critical data center, industrial, and commercial projects across the Southeast and Midwest.

We are established. Financially strong. Operationally disciplined. We are also one of the fastest-growing electrical contractors in the United States. Our continued expansion requires serious leadership capacity. We are building bench strength intentionally and aggressively.

We are seeking an experienced Construction Leadership Recruiter to lead enterprise-level leadership hiring across the organization. This role is strictly focused on leadership and office recruiting.

The Role

Over the next 12 months, this position and team members will deliver approximately 60 leadership hires across:

Division and operational leadership roles (VPs, Operation Managers)
Project Managers, Project Engineers
Estimators, BIM and Preconstruction Professionals
Quality and Safety Professionals
Office Support Roles

This role reports to the Talent Acquisition Manager and provides direct hiring pipeline updates to the TA Manager and the HR Director (Executive Leadership). This is a high-performance role in a high-growth environment. Leadership hiring is not a one-time surge. Our growth is sustained and long-term.

What Success Looks Like

Measurable reduction in time-to-fill
Improved quality-of-hire, measured by retention beyond two years
Strong leadership bench strength in Ohio, Atlanta, Tennessee, North Carolina, Savannah, Macon, Valdosta and surrounding markets
Meeting clearly defined recruiting KPIs that drive accountability
Consistent, disciplined communication with hiring managers

Performance must be measurable. Metrics matter. Systems matter. Follow-through matters.

Who Thrives Here

You:

Drive outcomes with urgency but with structure
Push respectfully when hiring managers are overloaded
Insert yourself into operations to understand roles, not just job descriptions
Track performance and hold yourself accountable to numbers

Value culture and understand that not every talented candidate is the right fit

At Ace Electric, culture is intentional. We protect it carefully. We hire leaders who are serious about people, collaboration, and performance.

Serve as team lead, coordinating recruitment efforts for the leadership recruiting team
Lead full-cycle executive recruiting for mission-critical, industrial, and commercial leadership roles

Build competitor market maps and long-term talent pipelines
Present vetted candidates directly to senior and executive-level hiring managers
Refine recruiting performance metrics and reporting dashboards
Provide market insight and compensation feedback to HR leadership
Maintain compliance with all applicable employment regulations

Occasional travel to divisions and the home office is expected for relationship building and in-person collaboration.

5+ years of executive or leadership-level recruiting experience
Construction, mission-critical, data center, industrial, or complex project recruiting experience preferred
Demonstrated ability to deliver measurable hiring results
Strong sourcing expertise using modern ATS and recruiting platforms
High business acumen and professional judgment
