What we're recruiting now.

A snapshot of searches in motion — the roles, regions, compensation ranges, and labor conditions shaping construction leadership hiring this quarter. If your role isn't listed, the underlying market read still applies; most searches start before they're public.

Senior Electrical Project Manager

Phoenix, AZ $165K–$195K High difficulty

Semiconductor and cleanroom electrical demand has drained the qualified PM pool; most candidates are deployed on active fab work.

Mission-Critical Superintendent

Dallas, TX $155K–$190K Very High difficulty

Hyperscale data center buildout is absorbing field leadership faster than the regional market can replenish it.

Mechanical / HVAC Project Manager

Tampa, FL $135K–$165K Moderate difficulty

Healthcare mechanical expansion is driving steady demand; candidates with occupied-facility experience are scarce.

Chief Estimator

Southern California $200K–$245K High difficulty

Institutional and public-sector bid leadership is a single-digit candidate pool across the region.

Healthcare Project Executive

Charlotte, NC $190K–$240K Very High difficulty

Occupied-renovation hospital experience is rare; the search is confidential and reputation-driven.

Civil Project Manager

Denver, CO $140K–$175K High difficulty

Renewable and utility infrastructure demand competes with DOT work; travel tolerance is the gating filter.

Data Center Commissioning Manager

Columbus, OH $165K–$205K Very High difficulty

Commissioning talent is the binding constraint on hyperscale delivery timelines in the region.

Preconstruction Manager

Nashville, TN $155K–$195K High difficulty

Conceptual-plus-GMP precon leaders are heavily recruited in a saturated hospitality and mixed-use market.

For Candidates

Not on the market, but open to the right move?

Most of the operators we place were not actively looking. If you run construction leadership work and want visibility into where the strongest opportunities are, a confidential conversation costs nothing.
