Per-MW pricing, regional variance, and cost drivers for owners scoping hyperscale & AI builds.
Salary benchmarks across the 14 mission-critical disciplines.
Hire Presidents who run the whole business — full P&L, growth strategy, operational leadership, and succession-ready governance for contractors, engineering firms, and owner platforms. Enterprise operating record + backlog and margin performance verified through references from boards and owners.
A structured, discreet process for the highest-leverage hire in the company — where the wrong President costs backlog, key people, and a market cycle.
30-minute confidential call. Align on ownership structure, revenue scale, growth thesis, succession context, board expectations, and timeline.
Within 2–3 weeks we introduce 3–5 President candidates with sector-matched enterprise records. References from boards, owners, and direct reports included.
Every placement carries a replacement guarantee. If the hire fails within the warranty window, we run a no-fee replacement search.
President searches fail on fit, not credentials. We verify how the candidate actually operates — the P&L they grew, the culture they left behind, and whether the record survives a board-level reference.
Every candidate has run a business or major division — revenue scale, margin trajectory, and backlog quality verified with boards and owners.
Data center, life sciences, healthcare, energy, and semiconductor demand cycles each reward a different operating posture. We match the record to your thesis.
Reference-verified retention of key executives and field leaders through transitions — the people who chose to follow them tell you the truth.
Before you meet a candidate, we have documented the enterprise record behind the title:
Reference-verified enterprise or division P&L — scale, margin, and cash discipline through cycles.
Verified revenue growth with margin held — and backlog won on terms, not bought.
Verified command of operations — preconstruction through delivery — not just the commercial story.
Reference-verified record of hiring, developing, and retaining the leadership bench.
Verified governance experience — family-held, ESOP, and PE-backed reporting rhythms.
Base, bonus, LTIP, and equity expectations aligned before finalists.
Most President searches are confidential. We run discreet, direct outreach — no posting, no market noise.
Time to shortlist is typically 2–3 weeks. President searches typically close in 6–10 weeks total, allowing for board interviews, referencing, and notice periods.
President searches run as retained executive search. Fee structure is confirmed at engagement start.
In many contractors the President is the senior operating executive — running the business day to day — while the CEO (or owner) holds strategy, capital, and external relationships. In others the titles merge. We scope the actual mandate before outreach.
In US construction and AEC firms, base salaries typically run $300k–$450k, with total compensation of $500k–$900k+ including bonus and LTIP. PE-backed platforms add meaningful equity.
Yes. Succession and replacement searches run fully confidential — blind outreach, staged disclosure, and NDA-backed introductions.
Yes. Every President placement carries a replacement guarantee, confirmed in writing at engagement start.
30-minute confidential scoping conversation. We’ll review the President mandate, ownership structure, growth thesis, and succession context — then design the search.
