Our approach
Steel and metals scopes need relevant experience
Project teams may need leaders for structural framing, fabricated components, stairs, railings, or other miscellaneous metal packages. We ask how the opening connects shop coordination, site conditions, erection sequence, and the wider construction schedule.
Our approach
Project and field roles for steel contractors
We recruit Project Managers, estimators, Superintendents, Assistant Project Managers, Project Engineers, and steel foremen. The search distinguishes people who lead estimating or project coordination from those whose work centers on field installation.
Our approach
Assess shop-to-field coordination
We discuss candidate experience with drawings, procurement handoffs, delivery planning, field access, and coordination with the general contractor and connected trades. The employer's actual package and reporting structure guide which experience matters most.
Our approach
Local and traveling steel construction candidates
Our network reaches local construction candidates across the markets we cover, including steel professionals willing to travel 100%. Nationwide candidates willing to travel 100% can also be considered for full-time travel assignments.

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.
