Good questions
Frequently asked questions.
How does a Director of Construction differ from a Project Executive?
A Director may oversee a department or portfolio, while a Project Executive may lead a project or project group. We clarify authority and scope for each opening.
What experience matters for this role?
Relevant experience depends on the projects, team and reporting structure. We discuss delivery responsibility, portfolio exposure and leadership expectations with the employer.
Do you recruit Directors willing to travel?
Yes. We consider local candidates and construction leaders willing to travel across a project portfolio. The expected site and office presence is confirmed before outreach.
How much does construction recruiting cost?
Search fees and terms are governed by the signed recruiting agreement. No professional fee is due for a standard contingency search unless we place a candidate you hire.
Can you recruit for owner-side construction leadership?
Yes. We recruit for developers and owners as well as contractors and construction managers. We establish whether the Director represents the owner or leads contractor delivery.
