Per-MW pricing, regional variance, and cost drivers for owners scoping hyperscale & AI builds.
Salary benchmarks across the 14 mission-critical disciplines.
Hire VPs of Engineering who own the technical backbone of the business — basis of design for fleet and campus programs, multi-discipline engineering organizations, design partner and EOR management, and the standards that keep a growing portfolio buildable, operable, and on budget. PE-credentialed leadership verified at program scale.
A structured executive search for the engineering seat — where basis-of-design decisions made this year get built a hundred times over the next five.
30-minute call. Align on org scope, discipline mix, portfolio type (fleet standards vs one-off programs), reporting line, compensation philosophy, and confidentiality.
Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 engineering executives with verified program-scale history. References from CEOs, COOs, and the engineers who worked for them included.
Every placement carries a replacement guarantee.
Running a fleet basis of design across dozens of sites is a different job than being the strongest engineer in the room. We verify org size, budget authority, and standards actually shipped — with the executives they answered to.
Reference-verified record of engineering decisions that construction and operations teams could live with — VE that held, standards that prefab could execute, designs that commissioned clean.
Hyperscale electrical topologies, healthcare central plants, cGMP utilities, and fab-adjacent systems each demand different engineering leadership. We match the technical history to your portfolio.
Verified PE licensure and discipline depth (electrical, mechanical, or multi-discipline) behind the executive title.
Reference-verified ownership of fleet or program design standards — authored, governed, and enforced across sites.
Verified record building engineering organizations — hiring, developing, and retaining senior engineers and directors.
Reference-verified management of EORs, AE firms, and design-build partners — scope, fees, and accountability.
Reference-verified partnership with construction, procurement, and operations executives through delivery and turnover.
Verified ability to carry technical risk decisions to the C-suite and board in business terms.
We’ll help scope the role on the call — org scope, discipline mix, portfolio, comp philosophy. Confidential searches welcome.
Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks. Total time to placement typically runs 4–6 weeks at the VP level, allowing for notice periods and deep referencing.
Most US VP of Engineering packages in the built environment land between $210,000 and $300,000 base plus bonus, with equity or LTIP common at owners and developers. Hyperscale data center programs set the top of the market.
Pricing depends on engagement model. VP searches typically run through executive search.
The VP owns the enterprise engineering agenda — standards, org design, design partner strategy — while a Director of Engineering typically leads a discipline, region, or program within it.
Yes. Every placement carries a replacement guarantee.
Yes. Directors, discipline leads, and staff engineers route through embedded recruiting or RPO alongside the executive search.
30-minute scoping conversation. We’ll review the VP of Engineering role, org scope, portfolio, and compensation philosophy — then start sourcing.
