• Give hiring managers clear advice and regular updates, helping them make timely, informed decisions.
• Keep candidates informed and engaged through clear communication, timely feedback and a positive experience from first contact through to onboarding.
• Keep candidate and vacancy information accurate and up to date, so progress is always visible.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience recruiting trade and labour talent at volume, ideally within construction, infrastructure, energy or a related sector.
• Strong sourcing capability and a track record of engaging candidates in tight, competitive labour markets.
• The ability to manage a high number of live vacancies at once, staying organised and on top of priorities.
• A commitment to a positive candidate and hiring manager experience, with clear communication and consistent follow-through.

Why Join AEC
