Engineering talent for the design and construction world.
We place MEP, structural, civil, and plumbing & fire-protection engineers with the design and construction firms that need them — talent fluent in the AEC workflow.
Engineers matched on discipline, not just keywords.
Engineering hiring for the building world turns on things a generalist recruiter can't judge: whether someone's MEP, structural, or civil depth fits your project type, whether they coordinate cleanly with the architect and the other trades, whether their code judgment and stamp hold up. Most agencies with an "engineering" tab are filling software or industrial roles. We staff the engineers who make buildings work — and we've lived in the AEC workflow since 1984.
The best projects need engineers who collaborate fluently with architects and designers, not just engineers who are strong in isolation. Because architecture is our home turf, we recruit MEP, structural, civil, and plumbing/fire-protection talent that speaks the architect's language — people who keep their systems coordinated with the design instead of fighting it.
We match on discipline depth, project type, software fluency, and — where it matters — PE licensure, and our recruiters read an engineer's project list the way your principal would, not the way a keyword filter does.
Engineering roles we place
MEP Engineers
Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design talent. We screen for system-design depth, load and energy-modeling judgment, code fluency, and clean coordination with the architectural set.
Structural Engineers
From project engineers to principals. We screen for analysis rigor, material range across steel, concrete, and timber, connection and detailing judgment, and the ability to defend a design under review.
Civil Engineers
Site and civil design for building projects. We screen for grading, drainage and stormwater design, utility coordination, site-development judgment, and clean documentation through municipal and AHJ review.
Plumbing & Fire Protection
Specialists for code-driven systems. We screen for plumbing, fire-protection, and life-safety code mastery and the documentation discipline that keeps authority-having-jurisdiction review smooth.
Project Engineers
Delivery across coordination and construction administration. We screen for cross-discipline coordination, submittal and RFI command, and a record of keeping systems on schedule in the field.
BIM / Revit MEP
Model-based engineering production. We screen for Revit MEP fluency, clash-detection discipline, and the ability to turn engineering intent into a coordinated, buildable model.
Department Leads
Senior leadership for growing engineering teams, often filled through a confidential, retained search. We screen for technical authority, the ability to win and run work, and a leadership style that fits your practice.
On contract, project-to-permanent, or permanent terms — across New York and nationwide.
How we staff engineering roles
There's no single right way to add engineering capacity — it depends on the work in front of you. We staff all three ways, and we'll tell you straight which one fits.
Contract / project
When a project ramps or a deadline lands faster than your headcount, we place an engineer — or a full discipline team — on a contract basis to carry the work. Capacity without the permanent overhead; when the project ends, so does the cost.
Project-to-permanent
The lowest-risk way to make a permanent hire: bring an engineer onto a live project, watch how they coordinate and deliver on real deadlines, and convert them to staff when you both know it's a fit. You're hiring on evidence instead of a good interview.
Permanent / direct-hire
A targeted search for the engineers and discipline leads who'll stay and grow with you — including confidential, retained searches for department heads. We pre-vet for discipline, software, and licensure so the first interview is the right one.
Not sure which lane you're in? Tell us the discipline and timeline and we'll recommend the path — and see invoicing for how each model is billed.
Why a 40-year-old AEC firm staffs engineering differently
We didn't bolt engineering onto a generalist menu — we've worked inside the building-design world since 1984, through four recessions, staffing the teams that take a project from concept to a permitted, buildable set. Engineering is part of how that gets done.
That longevity buys two things money can't: relationships and memory. Our recruiters stay for decades, so the person taking your brief has likely staffed your project types — and your software stack — many times over, and remembers which engineers delivered under real deadlines.
And because architecture and design are our home turf, we judge an engineer on more than a discipline label: we screen for the ability to coordinate with the architect, the other trades, and the authority having jurisdiction — because on a building project, collaboration is the job.
Engineering staffing — common questions
What engineering disciplines do you staff?
MEP, structural, civil, and plumbing / fire-protection engineering, among related disciplines for the design and construction industry.
Do you place PE-licensed engineers?
Yes, and we confirm professional engineering (PE) licensure wherever a role requires it.
Do you cover contract and permanent engineering roles?
Both — contract (freelance), project-to-permanent, and direct permanent placements.
What kinds of firms do you staff engineers for?
Architecture and engineering firms, MEP and civil consultancies, and multidisciplinary design practices.
How fast can you send engineering candidates?
Often within days, because we start from a current, ranked pool of AEC engineers rather than a cold job post. Senior and confidential searches take longer.
Do you place engineers nationwide, or only in New York?
Both. New York has been home since 1984, and we place engineering talent across the country.
Need engineering talent that fits the team?
We staff the disciplines that make design buildable.
