Job Summary:

VVater is hiring a hands-on technical recruiter who will serve as the company's entire hiring function for engineering talent. You will own 100% of the recruiting lifecycle, workforce planning, sourcing, screening, interviewing (behavioral and technical), coordinating hiring panels, reference/background checks, offer construction and closing, and onboarding hand-off, for Mechanical, Electrical, Civil/Structural, Process, CAD/Industrial Design, Field/Project Engineering, and related roles. This is a builder role for someone who can design the recruiting engine while running it: stand up ATS workflows, create interview rubrics, drive employer branding, and report hiring metrics to leadership, while ensuring compliance and delivering an outstanding candidate experience.

Key Responsibilities:

• Act as a one-person hiring team: run intake/kickoff with leaders, define profiles, set timelines, and own all day-to-day recruiting activity through start date.
• Source proactively via LinkedIn Recruiter, advanced Boolean/X-ray, associations (ASME, IEEE, ASCE, AIChE, SWE, NSBE, SHPE), ABET programs, alumni networks, trade groups, referrals, and targeted job boards.
• Conduct all first-round behavioral and technical screens (mechanics/thermo/fluids basics, circuits/controls fundamentals, civil/site literacy), evaluate portfolios/CAD artifacts, and administer work samples or case studies.
• Schedule and facilitate all subsequent interviews, run structured debriefs with objective scorecards, and guide selection decisions; train interviewers on best practices and bias reduction.
• Build and maintain the ATS (e.g., BreezyHR/Rippling/Greenhouse/Lever), requisition templates, pipelines, and automated workflows; ensure pristine data hygiene and compliance with EEO/OFCCP and applicable state/federal laws.
• Craft compelling, inclusive job ads; develop employer-brand content tailored to engineers; represent VVater at universities, career fairs, and industry events; manage internship/co-op pipelines.
• Own compensation benchmarking and offer strategy in partnership with Finance/HR; manage references, background checks, relocation, and (as needed) basic visa coordination.
• Report weekly hiring analytics (time-to-fill, pass-through, source effectiveness, candidate NPS, diversity metrics); continuously improve process speed, quality, and candidate experience.
• Partner with Operations, R&D, and IT to forecast demand and build hiring plans that align with product and project schedules.
• Perform all other duties as instructed by the company.

Qualifications:

• 3+ years of full-cycle recruiting focused on engineering disciplines (Mechanical, Electrical, Civil/Structural, Process, CAD/ID); in-house manufacturing/cleantech/water experience is a plus.
• Demonstrated success running high-volume sourcing and closing hard-to-fill engineering roles as a solo or lead recruiter.
• Working literacy in engineering environments and artifacts (CAD models/drawings, P&IDs, one-lines, submittals) and comfort assessing fundamentals with candidates.
• Mastery of LinkedIn Recruiter, Breezy, Rippling and advanced Boolean; proficiency with an ATS and spreadsheet/reporting tools; strong writing and stakeholder-management skills.
• Organized, resourceful, and metrics-driven with a service mindset and the urgency to meet aggressive hiring goals.
