Our approach
Systems that work together
We recruit MEP engineers for design coordination, construction engineering, project support and system delivery. We establish whether the opening is discipline-specific or expects coordination across mechanical, electrical and plumbing scopes.
Our approach
Coordination through changing project conditions
Candidate discussions cover constructability, drawing and model coordination, equipment interfaces, field questions and communication with contractors and consultants. We match the experience to the building type and project phase.
Our approach
Building systems and project context
Roles may support healthcare, commercial, multifamily, hospitality, data center or industrial facilities. We ask what systems and team interfaces matter for the assignment without assuming every project has the same demands.
Our approach
Local and travel-ready MEP candidates
Our candidate network includes local MEP engineers and professionals willing to travel 100% for project work. We clarify the mix of office, coordination and site responsibilities before an introduction.

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.
