Reporting to the Human Resources Manager, this role acts as a strategic partner to hiring managers, ensuring a steady pipeline of qualified talent that meets the technical and cultural needs of a fast-paced production environment.

1. Full-Cycle Group Recruitment: Manage the end-to-end recruitment lifecycle for the entire Rosenbauer America group, overseeing a diverse requisition load ranging from frontline assembly and skilled trades to executive leadership.
2. Strategic Sourcing & Pipeline Development: Act as a brand ambassador for Rosenbauer America, utilizing a "headhunter" mindset to tell our unique story across diverse talent markets; balance high-volume production needs with niche sourcing for technical and professional roles while proactively building our reputation through deep partnerships with trade schools, universities, and veteran organizations to create a sustainable, premium talent pipeline.
3. Comprehensive Intake & Operational Engagement: Lead detailed intake sessions for all positions—from frontline assembly and skilled trades to management and niche professional roles—to define critical success factors; partner directly with Floor Supervisors for "job shadows" to understand physical demands and technical nuances (e.g., blueprint reading, PLC troubleshooting) while collaborating with leadership to identify the strategic competencies required for corporate functions.

Strategic Hiring Coordination: Work closely with the HR Manager, Plant Leadership, and Department Heads to translate established headcount goals into a structured annual hiring schedule; ensure a consistent pipeline of qualified candidates is maintained to meet the facility's ongoing operational needs.
5. Continuous Selection Improvement: Partner with supervisors and hiring managers to analyze the performance and retention of recent hires, using those insights to refine screening criteria and design practical, safety-conscious assessments—such as shop-floor "walk-throughs", and screening and interviewing criterial reviews, that ensure "will-to-skill" alignment for every new requisition.
6. Compliance, Safety & Policy Governance: Ensure all recruitment activities strictly adhere to EEOC guidelines, OFCCP regulations (as a government contractor), and internal safety standards; maintain rigorous alignment with company hiring policies and procedural mandates to ensure an equitable, transparent, and consistent selection process across the organization.
