Our approach

Survey support for construction

We recruit construction surveyors for layout, control, topographic work, as-built information and related field responsibilities. We learn which tasks the hire performs and how the survey team coordinates with construction operations.

Our approach

Field methods and clear records

Candidate discussions cover instrument use, data collection, layout accuracy, site communication and records. We ask about the project environment and how the surveyor works with engineers, supervisors and project managers.

Our approach

Licensure tied to role and jurisdiction

Some positions require a licensed surveyor, while others are field or crew roles under a licensed professional. We confirm the applicable scope and credentials with the employer.

Our approach

Local and traveling survey crews

Our network includes local surveyors and candidates willing to travel 100% to project locations. We clarify site conditions, assignment length and team structure before an introduction.

Good questions

Frequently asked questions.

Which construction survey roles do you recruit?

We recruit surveyors, crew chiefs, technicians and survey managers. We distinguish field production roles from positions requiring professional oversight.

Do surveyors need a professional license?

That depends on the role, jurisdiction and scope of responsibility. We verify whether the employer needs a licensed surveyor or a field team member.

What experience matters for a construction surveyor?

We discuss layout, control, measurements, data handling and field coordination. The search is matched to the project type and survey team's workflow.

Can construction surveyors travel for projects?

Yes, we consider local professionals and surveyors willing to travel 100% for assignments. We clarify location, site schedule and travel expectations.

Which projects use construction surveyors?

Survey roles support building, site, transportation, utility and other construction work. We target experience that matches the project's field needs.

How do recruiting fees work?

No professional recruiting fee is due unless we place a candidate the employer hires. The signed recruiting agreement sets the terms.

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.
