Our approach
Recruiting for drainage and stormwater systems
Projects can combine storm drains, culverts, channels, detention or retention facilities, pump systems and outfalls. We clarify the work type, connection to other civil packages, site constraints and how the team manages water and environmental conditions during construction.
Our approach
Roles for civil and water infrastructure teams
We recruit Stormwater Project Managers, Civil Superintendents, Project Engineers, Estimators, Drainage Foremen, Quality Managers, Project Controls staff and Construction Executives. Candidate history is matched to the specific drainage or water-control scope.
Our approach
Direct qualification around project experience
Recruiters contact candidates directly and review comparable system work, excavation and structures, sequencing, permits or agency coordination where relevant, and scope responsibility. We confirm project-specific requirements with the employer.
Our approach
Local networks and traveling civil candidates
We have candidate networks in every market we cover and can widen searches to local candidates willing to travel 100% and nationwide candidates willing to travel 100% when assignments require travel.

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.
