Our approach
Recruiting for utility construction teams
Utility programs bring project coordination, field execution, access planning, safety processes and owner communication together. We learn whether the role supports distribution, transmission, substations, underground services or another utility scope before building the search.
Our approach
Project, engineering and field leadership
We recruit Project Managers, Superintendents, Project Engineers, Estimators, Foremen, project controls staff and senior leaders. Candidate histories are reviewed for the utility type and the work they personally coordinated, not just a broad energy or construction job title.
Our approach
Evaluate worksite and owner coordination
We ask how candidates handled utility-owner procedures, site access, work windows, subcontractor coordination, quality records and changing field conditions. Any role-specific training, licensing or safety qualification is confirmed against the employer's and project's stated requirements.
Our approach
Local and 100% travel candidate reach
We maintain a strong network of candidates in every market we serve, with local professionals as well as a nationwide travel-ready network. We can consider local candidates willing to travel 100% and nationwide candidates willing to travel 100% when an assignment requires it.

Good questions
Frequently asked questions.
Which roles do you recruit for utility construction?
We recruit Project Managers, Superintendents, Project Engineers, Estimators, Foremen, project controls staff and executives. Role requirements are matched to the specific utility assignment.
How do you assess a candidate's utility background?
We review the type of utility work, the candidate's project responsibilities and experience coordinating with owners and field teams. The employer's project brief guides the search.
Can you recruit 100% traveling power construction staff?
Yes. We can reach local professionals willing to travel 100% and nationwide candidates willing to travel 100%. We clarify assignment, location and travel expectations before an introduction.
Are particular licenses or safety certificates required?
Some projects or employers specify qualifications for a given role. We confirm those requirements for each search rather than assume that the same credential applies across utility work.
Do you charge an upfront fee for power construction recruiting?
No professional recruiting fee is due unless we place a candidate you hire. The signed recruiting agreement governs final terms.

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.
