Our Team

The Birmingham Group has focused on construction recruiting since 1967. Our recruiters and researchers partner with owners, general contractors, construction managers, and specialty contractors nationwide to build high-performing teams—fast and confidentially.

Why Work With Our Construction Recruiters

  • Construction-only specialization: project executives, superintendents, estimators, preconstruction, project managers, schedulers, MEP, safety, QA/QC, VDC/BIM, and field leadership.
  • Speed without sacrificing fit: targeted outreach and pre-qualified shortlists driven by data and referrals.
  • National reach, local insight: we map talent by market, project type, and delivery method.
  • Retention first: calibrated profiles, structured interviews, and reference/achievement checks reduce bad hires.
  • Discretion guaranteed: every search is handled with strict confidentiality for clients and candidates.
