Retained search for senior leadership across commercial, heavy civil, specialty trade, and industrial construction firms. We place operations, preconstruction, and executive leaders who win work, deliver projects, and build the bench.
Construction carries its own operating logic: project-based delivery, bonding and backlog, field execution, safety culture, and margins won or lost in preconstruction. Requirements do not transfer cleanly from outside the sector. We place senior leadership for general contractors, specialty trades, heavy civil builders, and construction managers across ownership structures, from family-owned firms to PE-backed platforms and ESOP companies. Founder-led, retained, with sector understanding built over decades.
Construction leadership turns on winning work, delivering it profitably, and building a bench that can scale. We place senior leadership across the bench in construction firms, under the same retained, founder-led model.
Finance leadership across project accounting, bonding, and capital structure for contractors and builders.
People leadership for builders managing field and office workforce, safety culture, and growth.
Technology leadership for construction firms modernizing project, field, and back-office systems.
Enterprise and project risk leadership across insurance, bonding, safety, and contract exposure.
Preconstruction leadership across estimating, bidding, and project pursuit, where margins are set before the build begins.
Senior project and operations leadership delivering complex builds from mobilization through closeout.
…and the leaders who report into each of these functions.
Construction is not one market. Delivery models, risk, and leadership requirements differ sharply across sectors. We place senior leadership across each.
Office, healthcare, education, and public buildings. Leadership where client relationships, delivery method, and quality define reputation.
Roads, bridges, water, and public works. Leadership balancing self-perform capability, equipment, and public-sector delivery.
Mechanical, electrical, and other trade contractors. Leadership focused on labor, productivity, and project-level margin.
Process, power, and energy facilities. Leadership where safety, scale, and technical complexity raise the leadership bar.
Construction is a dedicated vertical at MGP, not an adjacent industry. We place senior leadership across general contractors, specialty trades, heavy civil, and industrial builders.
The founder personally manages every senior construction engagement, from intake call through offer acceptance. No hand-offs to junior associates.
From estimating and preconstruction to field execution, we understand where margins are made and how delivery shapes who can lead. The slate reflects that reality.
The largest firms in our industry operate under recruiting restrictions that limit where they can source. We do not. Your search reaches further.
We place senior leadership across commercial and institutional construction, heavy civil and infrastructure, specialty trades and subcontractors, and industrial and energy construction.
General contractors, specialty trade contractors, heavy civil builders, and construction managers across ownership structures: family-owned firms, private equity-backed platforms, and ESOP companies. Most engagements come at inflection: growth into new markets, succession, or post-acquisition integration.
Most retained construction engagements close within 90 to 120 days. Senior operations and preconstruction roles in specialized markets can take longer. We prioritize the right cultural and operational fit over speed.
Yes. Preconstruction and estimating leadership are focal areas of our construction vertical, alongside field operations, project executive, and enterprise leadership roles.
Across the United States and Europe. Our practice spans saturated metros and regional markets alike, with particular strength in firms operating outside the largest urban centers.
Yes. MGP operates exclusively on a retained model: one search at a time per function. You will not compete with another client for the same candidate pool.
