About Boswell 

Since 1924, Boswell has evolved into a fully integrated, multi-disciplinary, nationally awarded engineering, construction oversight and electric utilities firm offering professional consulting services to public and private sector clients. For over a century, we have established ourselves as a premier provider of comprehensive engineering solutions, building a reputation for excellence, integrity, and engineering mastery. 

Boswell is a unique “learning organization” where we actively mentor and develop technical professionals in their career paths. We are offering a unique growth opportunity in genuine Talent Acquisition, a strategic function that extends beyond traditional recruiting. If you are a Talent Acquisition professional in the Engineering, Construction Oversight, or Electric Utilities industries who is driven to master your craft, attract top technical talent, and support compliance with government contractor requirements throughout the hiring process, we want to hear from you!

Role Summary 

Boswell is seeking a highly skilled Senior Talent Acquisition Partner to expand technical talent acquisition across our diverse engineering and professional services divisions. You will be mentored by a successful senior industry TA Director. Beyond “Post and Pray”, this role is essential in identifying and engaging high-caliber professionals, specifically Professional Engineers (PEs) and Project Management Professionals (PMPs) who have never needed to job search. You will serve as the primary link between the firm’s strategic goals and the technical talent market, ensuring our Site/Civil, Power and Energy - Electric Utilities, Highway Design, Construction Management, Municipal, Environmental, and Water Services departments are staffed with leading technical experts. 

Location: Hybrid but preferably you live within the Eastern US Time Zone: office visits for meetings are needed within Northern NJ, but we also offer remote work from home.

Hours/Schedule: The ideal candidate will be comfortable working beyond standard business hours to reach senior people who are working and are unavailable to speak during the business day. Successfully closing highly technical candidates requires flexibility, persistence, and strong interpersonal skills.

Key Responsibilities 


Full-Cycle Talent Acquisition: Manage the end-to-end recruitment process for technical and professional roles, ensuring a seamless experience for both candidates and hiring managers consistent with our existing employer branding in the marketplace


 


Specialized Technical Sourcing: Proactively identify and engage candidates, both passive and active, through LinkedIn Recruiter, industry networks, and professional associations, with a focus on PEs, PMPs, LSRPs and numerous other technical specialists. Less than 10% of our hires are applicants received through job postings. Therefore, cultivating long-term relationships, networks and transitioning referrals to engaged active interest is required.


 


Strategic Departmental Hiring Manager Support: We are a professional services organization where our Hiring Managers and most of the employees we hire are billable/ income producing. Our TA Team saves Hiring Managers time by technically vetting both Managers and Candidates. We collaborate closely with Department Heads in Civil and Structural Engineering, Power and Energy - Electric Utilities, Highway Design, Construction Management, Municipal, Environmental, and Water Services to understand technical requirements and future pipeline needs long-term.


 


Market Intelligence: Stay current on Engineering, Construction & Electric Utility industry trends, salary benchmarks, and competitor activity to provide actionable insights to leadership


 


Offer Management: Facilitate the offer and negotiation process, working with our Leadership Team to structure competitive offers informed by Candidate qualifications (tracking same consistently), most current market data, internal equity, and long-term retention considerations


 


Candidate Experience: Deliver high-quality, inclusive, and seamless end-to-end candidate experiences that reflect and reinforce Boswell’s values, culture, and professional standards (including honesty & integrity)


 


Workforce Planning & Talent Pipeline Development: Partner with executive leadership and department heads to forecast hiring needs aligned with backlog and growth strategy; build proactive talent pipelines for critical roles and actively recruit/ present promising Candidates for anticipated future needs in advance of any job posting
