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.

Relocation and travel
Relocation Placements
Over the last few years we've filled more and more positions with candidates willing to relocate on their own, or with minimal initial relocation help from the client. We always fill with local candidates when possible. But relocation placements are a specialty of ours, and we know how to make them work for clients who are committed to filling the position.
Placement protection
12-month replacement guarantee
On standard (non-reduced) fee agreements, every placement comes with a 3-month free candidate replacement guarantee. From months 4 to 12, we'll still replace the candidate at half off. That's a full year of coverage. We've never needed to use the extended guarantee.
Extended coverage applies to eligible placements billed and paid at the full standard fee under the signed client recruiting agreement.
Three-Month Free Replacement
If a placement billed and paid at the full standard fee separates for a qualifying reason within the first three months, Construction Headhunters will conduct one replacement search for the same or substantially similar position at no additional professional recruiting fee.
Months Four Through Twelve: Half-Fee Replacement
If the hire separates during months four through twelve, the client receives one replacement at half the standard professional fee. Applies only to original placements billed and paid at the full standard fee.
Eligibility, exclusions, notification requirements, payment requirements, and replacement terms are governed by the signed client recruiting agreement.
