Our approach

Recruiters for highways, bridges and civil work

Heavy civil searches are shaped around the actual work, whether a team is widening a highway, rebuilding a bridge, managing asphalt paving or coordinating traffic stages and a large civil package. We ask about delivery method, contract setting, project phase and how the new hire will work with owners, agencies and trade partners.

Our approach

Project, estimating and field leadership

We recruit Project Managers, Superintendents, Assistant Project Managers, Project Engineers, Estimators, Foremen and senior operations leaders. Candidate conversations distinguish roadway paving and traffic staging from bridge structures, rehabilitation, earthwork or utility packages, then verify schedule ownership, subcontractor oversight and the candidate's field authority.

Our approach

Evaluate the scope behind a civil resume

Hiring can be difficult when an employer needs direct experience with a specific civil scope, delivery method, agency process or project phase. We ask about public or private contract settings, quantities or packages managed, traffic control interfaces, field documentation and safety and quality responsibilities. We confirm employer-stated qualifications without assuming one credential applies to every opening.

Our approach

Local and traveling infrastructure candidates

We start with local construction professionals in the project market. Relocation candidates should be prepared to self-move, with minimal initial help discussed only when relevant. For traveling assignments, we can reach local candidates willing to travel 100% and nationwide candidates willing to travel 100%, then confirm project location and travel expectations directly.

Our approach

Direct headhunting and agreement-based candidate replacement guarantee

We contact civil construction professionals directly rather than relying on job postings or sending unrelated resumes. We qualify project type, candidate ownership, travel interest and the employer's stated requirements before an introduction. Any candidate replacement guarantee is subject to the signed recruiting agreement.

How do you distinguish a relevant civil candidate?

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.
