Original job description
At DCM, we deliver efficient integrated industrial and commercial construction, maintenance, and turnaround services. With a tremendous depth of knowledge, extensive experience, and demonstrated success across many markets in Canada and internationally, we build lasting partnerships with our clients.
We are guided by our core values: Right, Rigor, Integrity, Governance, Humility, and Tenacity. These values shape how we work, how we treat each other, and how we show up for our clients every day.
Ideal Candidate: A high-volume trades recruiter who thrives on pace and pressure. You've filled skilled trades and technical roles at scale, you know how to build a pipeline before you need it, and you get things done without a lot of hand-holding. Diploma or degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field is a plus, but proven recruitment results matter more than credentials.
This role is built for someone who wants to own full-cycle recruitment for skilled trades and technical roles in a fast-moving industrial construction environment. Construction experience is not required, but comfort working at volume and under deadline pressure is.
