About This Job


Overview:

This role is all about the connection between students and opportunity, between education and experience, and between campus and career. While this is primarily a work-from-home position, the ideal candidate will live in approximation to either our Herndon, VA or Chalfont, PA offices in order to have frequent in-person collaboration with our leadership team. Candidates must also be willing to travel approximately 50% across Bohler office and University partner locations.


What You’ll Do :


Champion University Relationships

Build, maintain, and deepen relationships with key universities, engineering departments, student groups, and career services offices.
Represent Bohler on campus through career fairs, classroom visits, panels, and info sessions—positioning us as an employer of choice among engineering students.
Design and execute outreach plans that align with each division’s hiring needs and university partnership opportunities.


Lead Early-Career Recruitment

Partner with hiring managers, alumni, and senior leaders to create high-impact campus recruiting teams.
Use platforms like Handshake, Yello, iCIMS, and Gem to connect with students and manage candidate pipelines.
Promote a consistent, inclusive, and high-touch candidate experience—from first introduction through onboarding.


Own the Internship Program

Oversee Bohler’s summer internship program—from planning and hiring through onboarding, experience design, and end-of-program conversion.
Ensure interns have a meaningful experience that includes exposure to real work, skill-building, mentorship, and feedback.
Collaborate with Talent Development and HR to align internship programming with early-career pathways.


Develop Talent, Lead a Team

Manage and mentor a small team dedicated to university and early-career recruitment.
Foster a high-performance, collaborative, and mission-driven culture focused on impact and growth.
Coach hiring teams on how to engage students, conduct inclusive interviews, and convert top interns to full-time hires.


Measure and Maximize Impact

Track and report on key metrics like school performance, intern conversion, offer acceptance, and early-career retention.
Use data to identify where our efforts are working—and where we can improve outreach, engagement, and experiences.
Manage the early talent budget, prioritize high-impact partnerships, and ensure efficient use of recruiting tools and resources.


What You Bring:


Required:

8+ years of experience in university relations, campus recruiting, or early-career hiring
2+ years of experience leading or managing a team
Experience building strong partnerships with colleges and academic institutions
Proficiency with tools such as iCIMS, Handshake, Yello, Gem, LinkedIn, and other campus-focused platforms
Strong communication, public speaking, and relationship-building skills


Preferred:

Background in civil engineering, AEC, or a decentralized, multi-location company
Experience managing high-volume intern or new grad hiring
Familiarity with early-career learning and development models


Why Join Bohler?
