Our approach
Recruiting for process and energy facilities
Industrial energy work can take place in active facilities, along with new construction, expansions or planned outages. We clarify the work area, project phase, operating interfaces and how construction leadership will coordinate with the owner and other contractors.
Our approach
Project, field and estimating roles
We recruit Project Managers, Superintendents, Project Engineers, Estimators, Foremen, safety leaders and construction executives. Searches are tailored to the position's scope, from site and structural work to piping, equipment or broader facility construction.
Our approach
Assess field judgment and site readiness
We discuss how a candidate has worked within site procedures, coordinated multiple trades, planned construction activities and handled project documentation. Any site-specific training, process-industry experience or qualification is confirmed against the employer's stated requirements.
Our approach
Local and traveling energy construction network
Our network includes experienced construction candidates in every market we serve, with additional reach for traveling assignments. We can consider local candidates willing to travel 100% and nationwide candidates willing to travel 100% after discussing the project location and work arrangement.

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.
