Craft Recruiting Manager
Job Description:
HITT Contracting is seeking an experienced and highly relationship-driven Craft Recruiting Manager to lead talent acquisition for HITT’s self-perform construction business established through the acquisition of Brycon LLC. This position will be based out of HITT’s Phoenix, AZ office and will support recruiting efforts across key self-perform markets and project locations throughout the Southwest and beyond. The role reports to HITT’s Senior Manager of Recruiting, based at our headquarters outside Washington, DC.
This group specializes in delivering complex self-perform construction services across advanced manufacturing, industrial, mission critical, and high-tech environments. With deep expertise in cleanroom construction, process piping, equipment and tool installation, electrical and mechanical systems, automated material handling systems (AMHS), and other technically demanding scopes, Brycon supports some of the most sophisticated and precision-driven project environments in the industry.
As the business grows across key markets including Phoenix, AZ, Albuquerque, NM, Reno, NV, and Taylor, TX, building a scalable and high-performing skilled trades recruiting function will be critical to supporting operational growth and project execution. The Craft Recruiting Manager will lead recruiting efforts focused on attracting and hiring highly skilled craft professionals across multiple regions and project locations.
Serving as the subject matter expert for craft and skilled trades recruiting, this individual brings direct experience recruiting within industrial construction, self-perform construction, advanced manufacturing, semiconductor, mission critical, or similarly complex technical construction environments. Candidates without experience recruiting skilled trades and craft talent within these industries will not be considered. The ideal candidate understands the realities of craft recruiting, including fast-moving hiring needs, changing workforce demands, and high-volume recruiting activity, while still maintaining a strong focus on candidate experience, relationship-building, and long-term team fit.
As Brycon Self-Perform continues to integrate with HITT’s broader people, recruiting, and operations, this individual will help support the evolution of recruiting processes, workforce practices, compensation alignment, compliance standards, systems, and operating models across the self-perform business. Success in the position requires adaptability, strong judgment, and the ability to help build scalable workforce and recruiting practices during a period of active integration and growth. This position is expected to work onsite four days per week, with some travel to project sites and regional markets as business needs require.
