About Patriot Recruitment
We're construction recruitment specialists focused on one thing: connecting skilled professionals with growing contractors who need them.
Quick Answer
Patriot Recruitment is a US construction-focused executive search firm placing Project Managers, Superintendents, Estimators, Project Engineers, and Directors/VPs at mid-size contractors (50–300 employees). We cover six core sectors — commercial, data center, infrastructure, healthcare, industrial, and multifamily — across nine primary markets: Texas, Florida, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, California, New York, Massachusetts, and Washington. Placement salary band: $65K–$250K+. Fee structure: 20–25% contingency, 25–33% retained, paid on successful hire only. Our focus is the ENR Top 400 mid-market sweet spot where national recruiters are too generic and local firms don’t have the bench depth. We also run a dedicated veterans placement program with a 50% reduced fee for veteran hires.
