Talent Acquisition & Recruitment Specialist

Build the talent pipeline behind Lantrak’s next phase of growth.

Lantrak is looking for an experienced Talent Acquisition & Recruitment Specialist to join our team and take ownership of recruitment across the business.

With more than 60 years of experience, Lantrak is an established leader in materials management, transport, plant hire and construction solutions, operating across Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales.

As our business continues to grow, so does our need to find great people.

This is an opportunity for a recruiter who enjoys more than simply managing advertised vacancies. We’re looking for someone who can actively search the market, headhunt great people and build genuine talent pipelines across our business.

You’ll work closely with managers across Lantrak to understand what they need today, what they’re likely to need tomorrow, and where the best people in the market are.

The Role

Working as part of our People, Culture & Communications function, you’ll take ownership of recruitment across multiple business units and states.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing recruitment end-to-end, from briefing through to offer

• Proactively sourcing and headhunting candidates rather than relying solely on job advertisements

• Building and maintaining talent pools for recurring and hard-to-fill roles

• Recruiting across operational, technical, professional and leadership positions

• Running targeted recruitment campaigns through SEEK, LinkedIn and other relevant channels

• Screening, interviewing and coordinating reference checks

• Developing strong relationships with candidates and maintaining contact with high-quality people in the market

• Partnering with managers to understand upcoming workforce requirements

• Improving the consistency and quality of recruitment processes across the business

• Working alongside our marketing function to strengthen Lantrak’s employer brand and recruitment campaigns

• Building a strong understanding of the construction, transport, quarrying and infrastructure talent markets

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who is naturally proactive, confident and commercially minded.

You may currently be working within an agency environment and looking to move in-house, or already working in internal talent acquisition and wanting greater ownership.

Ideally, you’ll bring:

• Previous recruitment or talent acquisition experience

• Strong direct sourcing and headhunting capability

• Confidence approaching passive candidates

• Experience recruiting across a range of roles and seniority levels

• Strong communication and relationship-building skills

• The ability to understand a hiring manager’s requirements and challenge the brief where appropriate

• A practical, organised approach to managing multiple vacancies

• Experience within construction, infrastructure, transport, logistics, quarrying, engineering or similar industries would be highly regarded

Most importantly, we want someone who genuinely enjoys finding good people.

Someone who will know who is in the market, who might be open to a conversation, and who we should be talking to before we even have a vacancy advertised.

Why Lantrak?

This isn’t a role where you’ll inherit a rigid recruitment function.

You’ll have the opportunity to help shape how Lantrak approaches talent acquisition as the business continues to expand.

You’ll work directly with managers across the business, recruit across a diverse range of roles and projects, and have the freedom to build networks and talent pipelines that support Lantrak’s longer-term growth.

For the right recruiter, it’s an opportunity to move beyond filling jobs and build an internal recruitment capability that has a genuine impact on the business.

If you’re a recruiter who loves the search, enjoys headhunting and gets satisfaction from finding the person everyone else struggled to find, we’d like to hear from you.
