Job Placement · Engineering

That open engineering role is putting projects behind.

An unfilled engineering seat does not pause your project timeline. It just means someone else absorbs the work - or the work does not get done. We place licensed engineers, PEs, and technical professionals in 23-35 days at roughly 50% less than contingency firms.

The Real Cost of a Slow Search

What does that open role actually cost your organization?

$5,000+
Per week in project delay cost from one unfilled engineering role
Engineering project overruns cost money, client relationships, and future bid competitiveness. Headcount gaps are the most common cause.
PE license
Required for many roles - and the candidate pool is small
PE-licensed engineers are in high demand and low supply. Waiting for them to apply is not a strategy.
2-3 weeks
Before a qualified PE or senior engineer accepts another offer
Licensed engineers are approached constantly. A slow search process always ends up with whoever was left.

How It Works

From open role to placed hire in three steps

01
Discovery call

We learn your organization, the role, and what a strong candidate actually looks like in your environment. 15 minutes. No fluff.

02
Active sourcing

We go direct to passive candidates - professionals who are not on job boards but are quietly open to the right opportunity. This is where most searches fail.

03
Shortlist review

You receive 3-5 pre-screened candidates. No stacks of resumes. No wasted interviews. You meet candidates who have already been qualified against your specific criteria.

What You Get

Three things every organization wants - and most placement firms do not offer

Bonus 01No contingency fees. Ever.

Common objection: "We already work with contingency recruiters."

Milestone pricing replaces the standard contingency model. For a $100,000-$130,000 engineering role, contingency firms charge $20,000-$32,000 at close. Our total cost is roughly 50% less, structured across defined search milestones.

Bonus 0245-day replacement guarantee at no charge.

Common objection: "What if the placement doesn't work out?"

If the hire does not work out within 45 days of their start date for any performance-related reason, we conduct a replacement search at no additional charge. Our guarantee is longer than most contingency firms and is built into every engagement.

Bonus 03A curated shortlist. Not a resume stack.

Common objection: "We have used recruiters before and wasted time on bad candidates."

You will not sort through 20 resumes hoping one sticks. Your dedicated search specialist builds a shortlist of 3-5 candidates who have been screened against your specific criteria. You only meet people who are genuinely qualified. The first interview is a real conversation, not a screening exercise.

The Math on Waiting

Every week that role stays open is a decision you are making.

A vacant engineering seat does not just mean one person's workload goes uncovered - it means project milestones slip, client commitments get missed, and your firm's reputation takes the hit. For most engineering firms, a delayed project costs more per week than the annual salary of the role that needs to be filled.

The Talent Window

The best candidates are only available for a few weeks.

Licensed engineers, especially PE-stamped professionals, are scarce and passively employed. They are not posting their resume on Indeed. When one opens up to a new opportunity, they receive offers quickly. A proactive sourcing approach is the only reliable way to reach this candidate pool.

No commitment. We will tell you exactly what we can do for your search and what it costs.

FAQ

Common questions

What roles do you place?

Civil engineers, structural engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, project engineers, PE-licensed professionals, engineering managers, and technical project directors across construction, infrastructure, manufacturing, and industrial sectors.

How is this different from a staffing agency?

We are not a staffing agency. This is direct permanent placement with milestone-based pricing. You hire the candidate directly. We are not placing temps or contractors.

How does milestone-based pricing work?

Payments are tied to defined milestones in the search process rather than a lump-sum contingency fee at the end. Total cost is roughly 50% less than a standard contingency arrangement. Exact structure is covered on your discovery call.

What does the 45-day guarantee cover?

If the placed candidate does not work out within 45 days of their start date for any performance-related reason, we conduct a replacement search at no additional charge.

How quickly can you start a search?

Typically within one week of your discovery call. We begin active sourcing immediately after alignment on the role profile and compensation range.
