About Us
Touchstone Recruitment is a North America–focused direct search recruiting firm serving Mining, Energy, and Ports & Terminals across the US and Canada. With 20+ years of heavy-industry HR and recruiting experience, we work across US and Canadian talent markets every day—understanding regional availability, remote-site realities, and the certifications and compliance expectations that vary by site and operator.
We don’t rely on job postings. We run targeted searches to identify and engage proven candidates with the right tickets/certifications, site or terminal experience, and safety-first mindset, then screen for the soft skills that protect performance on the ground. The result is a focused shortlist built for mission-critical hiring—often delivered in days, not weeks.

I lead Touchstone Recruitment—a direct search firm supporting Mining, Energy, and Ports & Terminals across the US and Canada.
We don’t post and sift. We run targeted searches to find proven heavy-industry talent—screened for the right mix of certifications/tickets, site or terminal experience, and a safety-first mindset—and we deliver shortlists built for high-accountability environments.
We support both the operational leaders who keep work moving and the corporate professionals who keep operations compliant, stable, and scalable
Typical searches include:
Operations & site/terminal leadership roles
Maintenance, reliability, and technical leadership (where applicable)
HR: HR Manager/Business Partner, Labour Relations, Talent Acquisition
Accounting/Finance: Controller, Cost Accounting, FP&A, Accounting Managers (less payroll-focused)
With 23+ years in HR and labour across heavy industry, I bring an operator-minded lens to every search—treating hiring as an operational risk decision, not a volume exercise.
If you’re hiring in North American heavy industry and want a process that’s fast, direct, and grounded in the realities of the work, let’s connect.
