Our approach

Recruiters for rail and transit project teams

Rail construction may involve work within operating corridors, station settings, rights of way or supporting facilities. We ask how candidates have planned access, coordinated the construction sequence, communicated with project stakeholders and managed interfaces with active operations.

Our approach

Roles across transportation construction

We recruit Project Managers, Superintendents, Project Engineers, Estimators, Foremen, schedulers and construction executives. Search criteria distinguish rail or transit experience from general highway and building construction when the employer needs a particular project background.

Our approach

Evaluate planning, phasing and coordination

Candidate conversations cover site constraints, work windows where relevant, subcontractor coordination, schedule responsibility, field documentation and safety processes. We confirm required project-specific training or access qualifications with the employer rather than presenting them as universal.

Our approach

Local and travel-ready rail construction staff

We have a strong candidate network in every market we cover and can reach professionals beyond the project area. We recruit local candidates willing to travel 100% as well as nationwide candidates willing to travel 100% for suitable construction assignments.

Good questions

Frequently asked questions.

What rail and transit construction projects do you cover?

We recruit for rail and transit construction teams across applicable infrastructure and facility work. We shape each search around the project setting and delivery responsibilities.

Which roles do you recruit for transit construction?

We recruit Project Managers, Superintendents, Project Engineers, Estimators, Foremen, schedulers and project controls staff. Executive and assistant-level searches can also be scoped.

How do you screen candidates for rail experience?

We ask about the candidate's rail or transit scope, project environment and role in coordination and phasing. The employer's access, operating and schedule needs guide the evaluation.

Can you recruit traveling rail construction leaders?

Yes. We can search locally and reach candidates willing to travel 100% from their market or nationwide candidates willing to travel 100%. We discuss the assignment before sharing candidates.

Are rail safety qualifications the same on every project?

Project access and qualification rules can differ by owner, employer and jurisdiction. We confirm the specific requirements for each opening rather than assuming one rule applies everywhere.

Do you require an advance recruiting payment?

No professional recruiting fee is due unless we place a candidate you hire. The signed recruiting agreement controls the search terms.

How it works

How we fill your job.

Four steps, run by Ivan or a senior teammate.

01

Tell us who you need

We talk through the job, the projects, location, pay and why someone good would want it.

02

We find and speak with candidates

We call people with the right experience, including many who are not applying for jobs.

03

You meet the strongest matches

You get a short list with notes on each person. We set up interviews and share feedback.

04

We help you complete the hire

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.

Eligibility, exclusions, notification requirements, payment requirements, and replacement terms are governed by the signed client recruiting agreement.
