Our approach

Structural work from design through field coordination

We recruit structural engineers for buildings, industrial facilities, steel and concrete work and infrastructure. Searches clarify whether responsibilities include design, detailing coordination, construction support or review of project information.

Our approach

Technical scope and practical collaboration

We discuss structural systems, project types, interdisciplinary coordination and how the candidate handles questions from construction teams. The goal is to understand the experience relevant to the employer's work, not to substitute a title for a project history.

Our approach

Licensure and project requirements

Professional licensure may be relevant depending on the jurisdiction, authority and scope. We confirm role-specific expectations with the employer and assess candidates against those requirements.

Our approach

Local and traveling engineering talent

Our network includes local structural engineers and candidates willing to travel 100% for site or project assignments. We clarify the mix of design-office, coordination and field work.

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.
