Our approach
Surveying and subsurface disciplines
Survey firms may support boundary and topographic work, construction layout, and related measurement services, while geotechnical teams investigate subsurface conditions and provide engineering recommendations. We identify the specific discipline and project phase the opening serves.
Our approach
Technical and project roles
We recruit surveyors, crew chiefs, survey technicians, geotechnical engineers, field technicians, Project Managers, and department leaders. Candidate experience is matched to field methods, technical analysis, client interaction, and any registration or certification requirements.
Our approach
Coordinate field data and project delivery
We discuss how candidates plan fieldwork, manage crews and equipment, process or review data, document findings, and coordinate with designers and construction teams. Employers can specify the software, methods, and work setting important to the role.
Our approach
Direct outreach for local and travel assignments
We directly reach local surveying and geotechnical candidates, including professionals willing to travel 100%. Nationwide candidates willing to travel 100% can be considered for assignments requiring sustained field travel when expectations are clear.

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.
