Our approach

Site leadership for the project at hand

We recruit Superintendents for ground-up buildings, interiors, industrial sites, civil work and specialty scopes, including occupied renovations. For occupied work, we discuss phasing, access restrictions, noise and shutdown coordination, occupant communication and the need to maintain ongoing building operations alongside construction.

Our approach

Field judgment and communication

We discuss schedule coordination, crew leadership, safety communication, quality practices and how candidates respond to field issues. The candidate's project history is compared with the work they will lead.

Our approach

Local Superintendents and full-time travelers

Our network includes local site leaders and candidates willing to travel 100% for work. We talk through rotation, site location, occupied-site experience and travel expectations before presenting a candidate.

Good questions

Frequently asked questions.

What Superintendent roles do you recruit?

We recruit site Superintendents across building, infrastructure and specialty construction. We define project type, team structure and site authority for each opening.

How do you evaluate a Superintendent candidate?

We discuss relevant project history, field leadership, coordination and communication with project teams. The search reflects the site's demands and employer expectations.

Can you recruit Superintendents for occupied renovations?

Yes. We assess occupied-site experience, phasing, access coordination, communication with building users and planning around ongoing operations. We match the candidate's background to the facility and work conditions.

Do you recruit Superintendents who travel full time?

Yes. Our network includes local candidates and professionals willing to travel 100%. We clarify travel history, rotation and logistics before an introduction.

How much does a Superintendent recruiter cost?

The signed recruiting agreement governs the search fee and terms. There is no professional fee for a standard contingency search unless we place a candidate you hire.

How is a Superintendent search different from hiring a Foreman?

A Superintendent typically coordinates broader site delivery, while a Foreman leads a crew or trade scope. We confirm the level of field authority the employer needs.

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.
