Hire Construction Project Managers

Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks from scoping call. Total time to placement (shortlist through offer acceptance) is typically 3–4 weeks.

Pricing depends on engagement model. Per-role recruiting is a defined fee signed at engagement start. Embedded recruiting is a monthly retainer scoped to portfolio size. RPO is monthly retainer scoped to program capacity. Executive search is a retained fee, typically 30–35% of the placed candidate’s first-year cash compensation. All models include a replacement warranty.

Data center (hyperscale, colocation, AI), healthcare (hospital tower, AMC, ambulatory), life sciences (biomanufacturing, CDMO, cell & gene), semiconductor (fab, advanced packaging), nuclear and SMR, renewable energy and storage, commercial development, and commercial fit-out. Every PM candidate is matched to your specific sector, not just “construction” broadly.

Yes. Confidential incumbent-replacement searches for Senior PMs, Project Executives, and Director-level roles are standard through iRecruit.co’s executive search practice. Outreach protocols, candidate conversations, and back-channel reference verification are structured to maintain market silence until the transition is announced.

All seniority levels — Assistant Project Manager through Senior Project Manager through Project Executive and Director of Construction. Senior leadership above the PM level typically routes through the executive search practice.

Yes. Every iRecruit.co PM placement carries a replacement guarantee. If the placement fails within the warranty period due to performance or fit, we run a no-fee replacement search. Guarantee terms are confirmed in writing at engagement start.

PMP is the anchor credential and always verified. Sector-specialty credentials verified as applicable: BCxP / CHC for healthcare, ISPE CPIP for life sciences, CDCPM / DCEP for hyperscale data center, USACE CQM-C for federal work, NFPA 70E qualification, NQA-1 for nuclear, LEED AP BD+C for sustainability-focused builds. OSHA 30 is jobsite baseline.

Multi-hire portfolios (3+ PMs) are typically scoped as either embedded recruiting engagements (dedicated partner, monthly retainer) or RPO (multi-recruiter, program-scoped). Both models include volume-scaled pricing and dedicated account coordination.

Yes. Hyperscale data center PMs are one of iRecruit.co’s highest-density specialties. Every hyperscale PM candidate arrives with documented hyperscale delivery history, NFPA 70E qualification, L1–L5 Cx experience, and MEP coordination fluency (75% of GMP on AI builds). See our data center construction recruiting practice.

Generalist construction recruiters work across every construction sector — residential, commercial, industrial, mission-critical — with broad networks but limited sector framework fluency. iRecruit.co operates exclusively in mission-critical construction. Every recruiter carries sector-specialty knowledge (NFPA 70E, FGI/ICRA, cGMP, NQA-1, SEMI, CMAR delivery). Every candidate is matched to your sector, not just “PM.”
