Our approach

Recruiting for nuclear facility construction

Nuclear work can include new construction, facility modifications, maintenance projects and supporting infrastructure. We learn which work packages the hire will support, how the project governs quality and configuration, and what coordination is required with operating or owner teams.

Our approach

Project and field roles

We recruit Project Managers, Construction Managers, Superintendents, Project Engineers, Estimators, Quality Managers, Safety Managers and Project Controls professionals. We distinguish direct nuclear experience from other power or industrial backgrounds where the opening requires it.

Our approach

Direct outreach and qualification against stated requirements

Recruiters contact candidates directly and discuss project experience, work controls, quality records, documentation, role ownership and site access. Required qualifications, training and clearance conditions are confirmed with the employer; none are presumed universal.

Our approach

Local and travel-based nuclear talent

We maintain a candidate network in the markets we cover and can reach local candidates willing to travel 100% and nationwide candidates willing to travel 100% for assignments requiring broader search coverage.

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.
