About John

​I’ve worked at Shirley Parsons since graduating college back in 2015. I originally joined the construction team as a Recruiter working out of our UK HQ. After a few years building relationships in the UK market, I decided to relocate to our Los Angeles office to help establish our construction division across North America.

I now manage Shirley Parsons’ Construction & Energy Markets on the West Coast - working with clients to recruit EHS candidates from graduate to VP level openings. I partner with companies and EHS professionals across the following industry sectors: Construction | Heavy Civil | Utilities | Power Generation | Renewable Energy

Outside of work I’m a huge sports fan and will watch whatever event is on TV (particularly Liverpool FC) On the weekends you can find me either playing soccer or eating and drinking with family & friends.
