Nina Johnson

Recruiting Manager with 19 years of talent acquisition experience and 8 years in recruiting leadership, specializing in heavy civil and marine construction. Currently leading recruiting operations and all hiring activity across six divisions in Maryland, Virginia, and South Carolina.

At McLean, I oversee workforce planning, sourcing strategy, and end-to-end execution for both craft and professional roles, supporting active projects, joint ventures, and long-term growth initiatives. My scope includes high-volume craft hiring, salaried and leadership recruitment, ownership, redesign and ongoing optimization of the company’s employee referral bonus program, significantly increasing engagement and improving the quality and retention of referred hires, career fair strategy and execution across multiple states, university and trade-school partnerships, forecasting and staffing ramp-up planning, and continuous process improvement.

I also serve as the company's Assistant EEO Officer, leading and supporting EEO investigations, partnering closely with executive leadership and field teams, and facilitating biannual EEO meetings to strengthen compliance, retention and employee engagement.

Fluent in English, Portuguese and Spanish, I bring cultural fluency and communication skills that help drive inclusive, high-impact hiring at every level.

My goal is to build trusted relationships with candidates, employees and leaders alike, balancing operational efficiency with genuine connection.
