The posting
GeoStabilization International (GSI), Access Limited, and RoadGuard together form a leading infrastructure solutions platform dedicated to protecting people and strengthening critical infrastructure across North America and New Zealand.
GSI is the premier geohazard mitigation firm specializing in emergency slope stabilization, landslide repair, grouting, and micropiles through innovative design-build delivery. Access Limited brings over a century of steep-slope expertise and operates North America’s largest fleet of spider excavators, delivering complex rockfall and geotechnical solutions in the most challenging environments. RoadGuard, founded in 2024, unites industry-leading roadway safety companies providing guardrail, bridge railing, highway signage, fencing, and specialty fabrication services.
Across all our businesses, we are driven by innovation, extreme ownership, technical excellence, and a relentless commitment to measurable results that improve safety and infrastructure resilience.
The Engineering Recruiter is a strategic talent partner to our technical and operations leaders, responsible for identifying, engaging, and hiring world-class engineers, estimators, project managers, and other roles across the organization that ensure our designs, estimates and delivery are safe, high-quality, and delivered on time.
Geotechnical work is unique, specific and requires not only the educational background to understand geomechanics, but deep experience in the regional technical challenges where we deliver services.
This role is critical to our long-term talent acquisition strategy to map, connect with and know as much talent in the geotechnical and adjacent industries as possible. We can’t just fill the jobs open today; we also must build a platform that creates successful growth predictably and reliably. We’re looking for more than a recruiter – we’re looking for a builder, a coach, and a partner willing to dive into our effort to mature our organization’s talent capabilities.
You’ll join a high-performance Talent Acquisition and HR team that has improved recruiting results across every part of the business over the last 12 months.
Key Responsibilities
- Partner directly with leadership in Engineering, Field Operations, and our Centers of Excellence [COEs] to define role requirements, success profiles, and hiring priorities.

- Manage the full recruiting lifecycle from intake to onboarding, maintaining speed-to-slate and speed-to-submit targets.
- Leverage LinkedIn Recruiter, Greenhouse, ZoomInfo and other tools to build continuous pipelines of high-performing engineers and technical specialists.
- Conduct structured interviews to assess cognitive agility, problem-solving ability, and growth trajectory.
- Drive the development and effectiveness of recruiting for intern and rotational programs that create future engineers and leaders.
- Drive data integrity and performance reporting in Greenhouse; analyze funnel metrics to identify bottlenecks and improve efficiency.
- Collaborate with the Recruitment Marketing team to craft compelling job postings, campaigns, and content that attract exceptional performers.
- Serve as a talent advisor to hiring managers — guiding them toward high-impact hiring decisions and ensuring consistency in selection quality.
- Model GSI’s values: safety, innovation, ownership, teamwork, and operational excellence.
