Our approach

Recruiters for generation and renewable project delivery

Generation projects can involve civil preparation, equipment placement, electrical scope, system interfaces and commissioning coordination. We learn which phase the hire will support and how the employer organizes field leadership, engineering, subcontractors and owner communication.

Our approach

Roles across solar, wind and storage construction

We recruit Project Managers, Superintendents, Project Engineers, Estimators, Foremen, schedulers and construction executives. Search criteria distinguish among solar, wind, battery storage and conventional generation where the work history needs to match a specific project.

Our approach

Candidate evaluation grounded in the assignment

We discuss project phase, field or office ownership, trade interfaces, site logistics, quality documentation and transition into testing or commissioning. We verify any employer-stated technical qualification without presenting optional certifications as universal requirements.

Our approach

Local and traveling energy talent

Our network includes candidates in every market we cover and professionals open to travel for project work. For roles requiring full-time travel, we can approach local candidates willing to travel 100% and nationwide candidates willing to travel 100%.

Good questions

Frequently asked questions.

Which generation and renewable projects do you recruit for?

We recruit for construction teams working on power generation, solar, wind and battery storage projects. We tailor the search to the project phase and construction scope.

Which positions can you recruit for an energy project?

Searches may include Project Managers, Superintendents, Project Engineers, Estimators, Foremen and project controls staff. We can also discuss executive and assistant-level roles.

How do you screen renewable construction candidates?

We ask about the candidate's project type, phase, responsibilities and coordination with civil, electrical and other scopes. The employer defines which prior experience is most relevant.

Can you find travel-ready candidates for renewable projects?

Yes. We can reach local professionals willing to travel 100% and nationwide candidates willing to travel 100%. Travel expectations and assignment details are discussed before an introduction.

Do all power generation positions require the same technical certificate?

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.
