Our approach

Recruiting for waterfront construction

Marine scopes can include port and harbor improvements, shoreline protection, dock or pier construction, bulkheads and dredging, each with distinct access and sequencing needs. We learn how the project interacts with water access, neighboring property, equipment and other construction packages before defining the search.

Our approach

Project and field leaders for coastal work

We recruit Marine Project Managers, Superintendents, Project Engineers, Estimators, Foremen and construction executives. Candidate discussions focus on the work they led, field responsibilities, trade coordination and experience relevant to the specific marine scope.

Our approach

Florida and California candidate networks

We have a strong construction candidate network in the Florida and California markets we cover, including coastal cities. We evaluate project history and waterfront setting without assuming every candidate has worked on the same marine structure or method.

Our approach

Local and traveling marine professionals

For local coastal openings, we can reach candidates in the market and professionals willing to travel 100%. Nationwide candidates willing to travel 100% can also be considered when a marine assignment requires a broader search.

Four steps, run by Ivan or a senior teammate.

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.
