Our approach

Plumbing and fire protection scopes

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.

Our approach

Role fit across project and field teams

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.

Our approach

Evaluate sequencing and installation coordination

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 approach

A local network with nationwide travel reach

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.

Good questions

Frequently asked questions.

Do you recruit for plumbing and fire protection contractors?

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.

What roles can you recruit for these trades?

We search for Project Managers, estimators, Superintendents, Assistant Project Managers, Project Engineers, and foremen. The brief can focus on plumbing, fire protection, or a role that coordinates both groups.

How do you evaluate fire protection or plumbing experience?

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.

Can plumbing and fire protection hires travel full time?

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.

What should a contractor explain at search intake?

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.

How are recruiting fees handled?

A standard contingency search has no upfront professional recruiting fee. The signed agreement controls fee terms and when a placement qualifies.

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.
