Construction Sectors We Serve
We don't just recruit for "construction." We specialize in 6 distinct sectors, each with unique requirements, salary bands, and talent pools. Sector-specific expertise means better matches, faster placements, and stronger retention.
Quick Answer
Patriot Recruitment places construction talent across six sector verticals: commercial (office, retail, mixed-use), data center (hyperscale, colocation, enterprise), infrastructure (transportation, water, power, telecom), healthcare (hospitals, MOB, surgery centers), industrial (manufacturing, warehouse, logistics), and multifamily (market-rate, affordable, senior living, student). Each sector page details active markets, demand signals, role mix, typical project sizes, and salary premiums versus baseline commercial work. Data center roles carry a 10–20% premium; healthcare and infrastructure add 5–15% depending on sub-specialty.
