Job Description

Company Overview

Blue Energy’s mission is to unlock energy abundance, energy affordability, energy security, and turn-key decarbonization by developing the fastest path to deploying new nuclear MWs at scale. We are utilizing shipyard manufacturing supply chains and techniques from offshore oil and wind to reduce the cost of nuclear plants by over 60% and the manufacturing timeline to 24 months. Blue Energy is a platform technology that makes use of the latest NRC-approved reactors and is in negotiations with existing nuclear and industrial sites, enabling a much faster regulatory pathway to deploy our first unit. With our innovative centralized shipyard manufacturing approach, we can put nuclear power on a cost-reduction learning curve akin to wind, solar, and lithium-ion batteries.

Role Overview:

We are seeking a Head of Recruiting to build, lead, and execute our recruiting function. Based in Philadelphia or Washington, DC (with hybrid flexibility), this leader will own hands-on recruiting operations, develop hiring strategies, work directly with senior leadership, and partner with external firms where needed to help us grow. As Blue Energy scales, this role will have the opportunity to build and lead an internal recruiting team.

Key Responsibilities:

Hands-On Recruiting Leadership:

  • Serve as the primary driver of all recruiting activities across departments and levels, acting as both strategist and executor.

  • Manage full-cycle recruiting from role intake through offer negotiation and onboarding.

  • Proactively source and engage top talent to build strong candidate pipelines.

  • Partner with hiring managers to deeply understand role needs and market positioning.

Talent Strategy & Scaling:

  • Develop recruiting strategies aligned with company growth plans.

  • Manage relationships with external recruiting partners and agencies to supplement internal efforts where needed.

  • As hiring volumes and business needs grow, propose and implement a plan for building an internal recruiting team.

Recruiting Operations & Process Building:

  • Build and continuously improve recruiting processes and workflows to ensure scalability and exceptional candidate experience.

  • Manage and optimize our applicant tracking system (Ashby), reporting, and recruiting metrics.

  • Create job descriptions, interview plans, and recruiting enablement materials to support hiring success.

Employer Branding & Talent Engagement:

  • Collaborate with leadership to refine and amplify our employer brand in the market.

  • Identify opportunities to attract diverse, high-performing talent aligned with our mission and values.

Qualifications:

Experience:

  • 8+ years of experience in recruiting, with at least 2 years owning end-to-end recruiting operations and strategy.

  • Proven success in full-cycle recruiting for high-growth companies; startup, tech, energy, or industrial experience strongly preferred.

  • Experience working both independently and leveraging external recruiting partners.

Skills:

  • Builder’s mindset with a willingness to roll up your sleeves and drive execution.

  • Strategic thinking combined with excellent operational skills.

  • Strong communication skills and ability to influence and collaborate with senior stakeholders.

  • High attention to detail, process orientation, and a candidate-first approach.

  • Data-driven mindset and ability to track, analyze, and act on recruiting metrics.

Perks and Benefits:

  • Opportunity to shape and grow the recruiting function at one of the most exciting new energy companies.

  • Flexible hybrid work arrangements (South Jersey or Washington, DC).

  • Close collaboration with the executive team and direct impact on company growth and success.

Mission-driven work focused on delivering clean, affordable, and abundant energy.

We look forward to your application and helping foster an era of safe, clean, affordable, and abundant energy.

Blue Energy is dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workplace. If you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t perfectly align with every requirement, we encourage you to apply anyway. You might be the right candidate for this or other roles at Blue Energy now or in the future.
