Our approach

Project Engineers for field and office coordination

We recruit Project Engineers for building, industrial, infrastructure and specialty scopes. Intake covers submittals, drawing coordination, RFIs, quality documentation, field communication and the support needed by the project team.

Our approach

Understand technical and project experience

We discuss how candidates have worked with plans, specifications, project records and trade partners. The search distinguishes a construction Project Engineer from licensed design engineering where the employer needs that distinction.

Our approach

Local and traveling Project Engineers

Our network includes PEs in local markets and candidates willing to travel for project assignments. We confirm site placement, assignment scope and travel expectations before an introduction.

Good questions

Frequently asked questions.

Which Project Engineer positions do you recruit?

We recruit construction Project Engineers for general contractors, developers and construction managers. Search criteria reflect project type, field exposure and technical coordination responsibilities.

How is a construction Project Engineer different from a design engineer?

Construction PEs commonly coordinate project documents and field-office information, while design roles may have separate engineering duties. We confirm the job scope and any stated credential requirements with the employer.

What experience do you look for in a Project Engineer?

Relevant experience depends on the project and tasks the PE will support. We discuss construction documents, coordination, communication and the candidate's role on past teams.

Can you recruit traveling Project Engineers?

Yes. We can consider local candidates and professionals who will travel for project work. Assignment conditions are reviewed before a candidate is introduced.

How much does a Project Engineer search cost?

The signed recruiting agreement determines the fee and terms. No professional fee is due for a standard contingency search unless we place a candidate you hire.

Do you recruit PEs for specialty contractors?

Yes. We recruit Project Engineers for general contractors and specialty subcontractors. We tailor candidate outreach to the trade and coordination scope.

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.
