Edward Duff

Founder & Principal Recruiter

Edward founded RCD Group in 2002 with a simple belief: the best recruitment happens when you truly understand the industries and people you serve.

With 22+ years of deep connections across heavy civil construction, data centers, solar, and infrastructure, Edward has built RCD Group into a nationally trusted recruitment partner for some of the largest firms in the country.

He's not just a recruiter — he's a connector, advisor, and advocate for every candidate and client he works with. His phone is always on, his network runs deep, and his track record speaks for itself.

Founded on Relationships,
Built on Results

Over 22 years, RCD Group has grown from a one-person operation into a trusted national recruitment partner for some of the largest construction and engineering firms in the country.

But we've never lost what made us different from day one — deep personal connections, relentless quality standards, and a genuine passion for the work our candidates do every day.

Understanding the people who build America's infrastructure is paramount to our business. These professionals build the very foundation of communities and the country. With the explosive growth in data centers and solar, the search for the right candidates has never been more critical.

What Drives Us Every Day

Quality Over Quantity

We find the top 1-2 candidates in a specific field rather than flooding inboxes with unqualified resumes. Precision is our standard.

Relationships First

We build long-term partnerships. Many clients have been with us for nearly a decade — that trust is earned through consistent results.

Speed & Responsiveness

When a project is starting and you need talent now, we deliver. Our average time to present qualified candidates is measured in days, not weeks.

Integrity & Confidentiality

Every search is handled with discretion. Whether it's a confidential executive search or a sensitive replacement, your trust is sacred.

Building the Future

We're passionate about connecting talent with projects that shape communities — highways, bridges, data centers, and solar farms that define tomorrow.

Industry Expertise

We don't just recruit for construction — we live it. Heavy civil, data centers, solar — our deep understanding means we speak your language.
