The search brief
We recruit for plumbing and fire protection contractors hiring project, estimating, and field leaders. Each search separates the system scope and employer's delivery needs so candidates are evaluated against the work they will actually lead.
A direct route to the right hire
Share the position, location and what the hire needs to own.
We approach and qualify construction professionals before making introductions.
A fee is due only for a qualifying placement under the recruiting agreement.
Plumbing work can cover building distribution, drainage, piping, and related installations, while fire protection focuses on its own system layout and construction coordination, including fire sprinkler installation. We learn which scope the employer needs covered, whether these teams sit in one business or separate groups, and whether the opening centers on installation, service, or inspection.
Searches include plumbing or fire protection Project Managers, estimators, Superintendents, Assistant Project Managers, Project Engineers, and foremen. We tailor the role profile to system-specific coordination, crew oversight, and the contractor's relationship with the general contractor and other trades.
We ask how candidates have planned work around structure, ceilings, equipment, and other installed systems. For sprinkler roles, we clarify experience with layout, hydraulic coordination, permitting interfaces, inspections, and turnover rather than treating general plumbing experience as a substitute. We also discuss field communication, material planning, phased access, and the person's role in resolving coordination questions.
Our network includes local candidates across the markets we cover and local professionals willing to travel 100%. Nationwide candidates willing to travel 100% can support full-time travel needs when the assignment fits, with expectations reviewed before presentation.
The kind of construction leadership we know how to find.
Yes. We support contractors hiring for plumbing or fire protection construction and clarify which business and system scope the position serves. That distinction shapes the search from the start.

We ask candidates to describe the systems and project settings they have worked in and their responsibilities for coordination and field delivery. We do not assume that experience in one trade automatically transfers to the other.
Yes. We can reach local candidates willing to travel 100% and nationwide candidates willing to travel 100%. Travel requirements are discussed with candidates before an introduction.
Share the system scope, project setting, reporting lines, and whether the hire will manage work in the field, office, or both. Details about sequencing and trade interfaces also help define a useful candidate profile.

Relocation and travel
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
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.
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.
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.
