Job Description:

HITT Contracting is looking for a Craft Workforce Development Manager to help build the next generation of skilled construction talent. Our current team of craft professionals perform complex work supporting semiconductor, advanced manufacturing, and other highly technical construction environments. As investment in these sectors continues to drive demand for skilled labor, we have an opportunity to build the talent pipelines and learning experiences needed to support our own growth while contributing to a challenge facing the construction industry as a whole.

This role will lead and elevate an already registered apprenticeship program, which currently supports development across electrical, pipe fitting, carpentry, and sheet metal trades.
