Our approach
Recruiting for treatment plants and water infrastructure
Treatment plant work can combine structures, process equipment, piping, controls and connections to existing systems. We ask how a candidate has coordinated those interfaces, managed work around facility operations and sequenced construction with the project team.
Our approach
Roles across plant construction
We recruit Project Managers, Superintendents, Assistant Project Managers, Project Engineers, Estimators, Foremen and construction administrators. We distinguish treatment process and pump station work from pipelines, general sitework or other civil packages, and match candidate responsibilities to the specific facility and delivery phase.
Our approach
Evaluate coordination and project documentation
Hiring can require people who understand interfaces among concrete structures, process equipment, piping, electrical and controls while construction proceeds beside operating systems. We review the candidate's role in shutdown planning, tie-ins, schedule, commissioning and closeout documentation. Qualifications are checked against the project and jurisdiction rather than presumed universal.
Our approach
Local and traveling treatment plant talent
We begin with local construction candidates and expand when a plant or pump station search requires broader reach. Relocation candidates should be prepared to self-move, with minimal initial help discussed only if relevant. For traveling assignments, we can reach local candidates willing to travel 100% and nationwide candidates willing to travel 100%.
Our approach
Direct water-sector headhunting and candidate replacement guarantee terms
We contact construction professionals directly, qualify treatment facility or infrastructure experience and confirm interest before making an introduction. We do not substitute job postings or loosely related civil resumes for a focused search. Any candidate replacement guarantee is subject to the signed recruiting agreement.
