The posting, as Resource Environmental Solutions LLC wrote it

At RES, we’re looking for purpose-driven individuals who are passionate about restoration and sustainability, and who want their work to make a lasting environmental impact. Our team members go above and beyond, bringing initiative, integrity, and a strong work ethic to every project. Collaboration is key—we thrive on teamwork, open communication, and diverse perspectives. In a field that constantly changes, we value those who are resilient, adaptable, and resourceful in the face of challenges. If you're intellectually curious, eager to learn, and ready to help restore ecosystems and protect natural resources, you’ll find your place here.

RES is the nation’s largest dedicated provider of Nature-based Solutions. We restore land and waters, build natural resilience into communities, and stay with our projects until they are thriving. That work requires talented people across science, engineering, construction, land management, operations, and business functions. Finding those people is critical to our continued success.

We are looking for a Recruitment Manager who can strengthen how we find and select that talent while leading and developing our recruiting capability across RES.

This is a player-coach role. You will lead and develop our internal recruiting team and manage our external recruiting resources as an extension of that team. You will improve how recruiting operates across RES while personally managing a portfolio of searches. You will work closely and transparently with our Field HR team, bringing recruiting expertise and talent-market insight to the broader HR partnership with the business.

Why you will love this job

Meaningful work: The people you help bring to RES restore streams, wetlands, forests, and landscapes and deliver projects that improve resilience, water quality, and habitat.

Connected partnership: You will work closely with Field HR and business leaders, bringing recruiting expertise and market insight to a broader partnership focused on business needs.

Opportunity to improve how we work: You will strengthen recruiting operations and candidate experience while improving how we use reporting, assessment tools, and recruiting technology.

Variety: Our hiring needs span multiple regions and levels, with roles across environmental, engineering, construction, project management, sales, and corporate functions.
