Construction Management Recruitment

Construction & project management recruitment — across Canada and the USA.

PHM recruits the people who deliver projects — project and construction managers, superintendents, estimators, and project controls — across buildings, infrastructure, and industrial and mission-critical build. Specialist, sector-fluent search on an exclusive, fee-on-hire basis.

Why this hire is hard

The contract changed shape, and so did the job.

Infrastructure Ontario said in June 2024 it would start buying hospitals through progressive design-build with a target price, and it has — Peel Memorial’s development phase opened in October 2025 and North York General went to market as an alliance. British Columbia is further down the same road, with eight alliance projects running. Then in June 2025 the CCDC rewrote both of its construction management contracts, the first time since 2010. A career spent administering a fixed price after award is not the job these models ask for, which is pricing and defending a cost model in front of the owner before a price exists.

What it costs while the seat is open

One missing PM does not delay the project on the report. It delays every decision that needed them, and those compound quietly until a milestone is missed.

How we run it instead

Our construction management recruiters ask which delivery model someone has actually worked under, then assess on the portfolio carried — value, method, and the jobs that went sideways.

What we recruit for

From site supers to project executives.

Genuine depth across the construction and project management disciplines — we understand the roles and the work they answer for, not just the titles. A sample of the work and the projects we recruit for:

Recruiting on the builder’s side of the table rather than the owner’s? That work sits with our general contractor team.

Levels from field engineers, coordinators, and superintendents through project and senior project managers, construction managers, project directors, and operations leaders.

How we engage

Exclusive contingency.

Retained-level rigour, on an exclusive basis, for a fee paid on the hire — no upfront retainer and the delivery risk on us. We also work standard contingency where a role suits it. How we engage →

Because we don’t run volume, an exclusive construction mandate gets our full bandwidth — and we’re driven to deliver in less time than industry norms.

Where construction teams work

Buildings, infrastructure, and industrial.

Buildings / ICI

Industrial, commercial, and institutional build — from preconstruction through delivery and closeout.

Heavy civil & infrastructure

Roads, bridges, water, and municipal works — the project leadership that delivers major infrastructure.

Industrial & mission-critical

Industrial plants and mission-critical facilities — including the data-center build-out, where speed and rigour matter most.

Common questions

Construction Management recruitment, answered.

What construction management roles do you recruit for?

The specialties and levels are listed above. We recruit them for consultancies, owners, contractors and industrial employers across Canada and the USA.

Which types of construction do you cover?

Buildings and ICI, heavy civil and infrastructure, and industrial and mission-critical build — including the data-center and mission-critical projects behind the AI build-out.

Do you work on a retained or contingency basis?

Exclusive contingency: the same process a retained firm runs, without the retainer. We are paid when the hire is made, so the risk of not delivering is ours.

Can you advise on construction salaries and compensation?

Yes. We provide real-time compensation insight for the specific role, region, and seniority you’re hiring for — so an offer is competitive without overpaying.

Where do you recruit construction talent?

Across Canada and the United States. We’re headquartered in London, Ontario, Canada and work on-site where it counts and remote-fluent by design.

Are the best construction roles even advertised?

Often not. Many of the strongest construction leaders are filled discreetly, through direct search — filled before a posting exists, often before the role is announced internally.
