Our approach

Technical and project delivery talent

We recruit Civil, Structural, MEP, Electrical and Protection and Control Engineers, Architects, Designers, Project Managers, discipline leads and practice professionals. Searches can distinguish civil and structural design, building systems, architecture, multidisciplinary coordination, construction administration and practice operations. Before outreach, we learn the discipline, project phase, client setting and responsibilities the new hire will own.

Our approach

A search based on the work

A role may support commercial buildings, healthcare, education, water and wastewater, utilities, industrial facilities or transportation. We discuss the candidate's design or engineering experience, coordination responsibilities and ability to communicate across disciplines. For practice leadership, we also clarify responsibilities for team development, client relationships, delivery standards and business operations.

Our approach

Local reach and travel readiness

Our candidate network spans the markets and specialties we cover, with local professionals and candidates open to 100% travel. When travel is part of the position, we clarify project locations, site expectations and travel arrangements before an introduction.

Relocation and travel

Location is part of the search.

We look locally first and discuss whether relocation or travel makes sense. A traveling superintendent's rotation, a PM's family move and a local commute are different decisions. We cover relocation help, per diem and timing before you meet anyone, not at the offer.

Placement protection

Candidate replacement guarantee

How long is the candidate replacement guarantee?

We offer a candidate replacement guarantee on standard search agreements. The applicable period and exact terms are set out in the signed client recruiting agreement.

Eligibility, exclusions, notification requirements, payment requirements, and replacement terms are governed by the signed client recruiting agreement.
