Our approach

Hiring around active schools and campuses

School construction often has schedule and access constraints around academic calendars, student and staff circulation, athletics, summer work windows and campus operations. We distinguish occupied K-12 renovations from college residence, classroom, laboratory and campus infrastructure projects, and ask how candidates planned phasing for the actual setting.

Our approach

Project and field positions for education work

Our searches include Project Managers, Assistant Project Managers, Project Engineers, Estimators, Superintendents and Foremen. We assess relevant school or campus scope, occupied-site safety coordination, public procurement or owner interfaces where applicable, and the candidate's responsibility for schedule, trades and closeout.

Our approach

Local school markets and traveling teams

We begin with local education construction professionals and widen the search when the assignment requires it. Relocation candidates should be prepared to self-move, with minimal initial help discussed only if relevant. For traveling projects, we reach local candidates willing to travel 100% and nationwide candidates willing to travel 100%.

Our approach

Direct headhunting with agreement-based terms

Our construction recruiters contact candidates directly rather than relying on job postings or forwarding loosely matched resumes. We qualify school type, project phase, site responsibilities and candidate interest before introduction. Any candidate replacement guarantee is subject to the signed recruiting agreement.
