Our approach
Candidate searches for specialized facilities
Pharmaceutical, biotech and laboratory projects bring together building teams, technical scopes and facility stakeholders. We ask about a candidate's relevant project history and how they coordinated work across the teams involved, including controlled or operational environments when relevant.
Our approach
Roles for lab and life sciences projects
We recruit Project Managers, Assistant Project Managers, Project Engineers, Estimators, Superintendents and Foremen. We evaluate project experience and responsibilities against the facility and the opening rather than making assumptions from a title.
Our approach
A market network with traveling reach
We have a strong candidate network in every market we cover. For projects outside the local market, we can consider local professionals willing to travel 100% and nationwide candidates willing to travel 100%.

Good questions
Frequently asked questions.
Which roles do you recruit for lab construction?
Our searches include project leadership, estimating, project engineering and field supervision. We confirm what the opening will own before sourcing.
How do you evaluate candidates for life sciences facilities?
We discuss facility experience, team interfaces and the candidate's construction responsibilities. We match that background to the actual project environment.
Can you recruit traveling lab construction staff?
Yes. We reach local candidates willing to travel 100% and nationwide candidates willing to travel 100%. Travel requirements are confirmed before candidate introductions.
Do you recruit local candidates for laboratory projects?
Yes. We have a strong network across every market we cover, and recruiters focused almost exclusively on traveling roles. Outreach can support local hiring or travel assignments.
Do you charge a professional fee before placement?
No professional recruiting fee is due unless we place a candidate the employer hires. The signed agreement governs fee and search terms.

Relocation and travel
Location is part of the search.

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.
