McGloin Baker is an engineering, project management, environmental and business advisory consultancy supporting disaster recovery and resilience programs, transport and water infrastructure, and major civil projects across Current South Wales and Queensland.

We are looking for an experienced Talent Acquisition Coordinator to join our team on a full-time basis and help us identify and engage the people who will support our continued growth.

About the role

Working closely with our Operations Manager and Directors, you will take ownership of proactive candidate sourcing, talent pipeline development, initial screening and recruitment coordination. This is an internal role focused on finding and engaging great people for McGloin Baker. There are no agency sales or business development targets.

You will recruit primarily for civil engineering roles, including project managers, project engineers, site engineers and contract administrators. Many of these positions are specialist or regionally based, so success will require persistence, sound market research and confidence approaching passive candidates.

What you will do

- Source candidates through job boards, LinkedIn, referrals, industry networks and targeted market mapping.
- Build and maintain talent pipelines for current and future project requirements.
- Review applications and conduct initial candidate screening calls.
- Assess experience, work rights, location, availability, salary expectations and career motivations.
- Prepare clear candidate summaries and recommendations for hiring stakeholders.
- Coordinate interviews, follow-ups and candidate communications.
- Maintain accurate candidate and vacancy records in Zoho Recruit.
- Use Canva to create recruitment graphics and social media content that align with our brand.
- Use AI tools and Microsoft 365 to support research, communications, reporting and day-to-day recruitment coordination.




- Support job advertising, recruitment reporting and ongoing process improvement.

About you

- You have at least three years of recruitment resourcing, talent sourcing or recruitment consulting experience.
- You know how to find and engage passive candidates, not just process applications.
- You are confident using SEEK Talent Search, LinkedIn, Boolean search techniques and an applicant tracking system.
- You can conduct a focused screening conversation and turn your findings into a concise, useful candidate summary.
- You communicate warmly and professionally and understand the importance of a strong candidate experience.
- You are organised, persistent and comfortable managing several searches at once.
- You have practical Canva experience, are proficient in Microsoft 365 and know how to use AI tools effectively and responsibly.
- You use good judgement and handle confidential information carefully.

Experience recruiting within civil construction, engineering, infrastructure, project management or local government will be highly regarded, as will established networks across NSW and Queensland.

Why join McGloin Baker

- Work directly with decision-makers in a growing, close-knit engineering consultancy.
- Take ownership of sourcing and help shape how our talent pipelines are built.
- Recruit for meaningful projects across disaster recovery, resilience and essential infrastructure.
- Join a team that values trust, collaboration and practical outcomes.
- Full-time position with an immediate start available.
