Construction executive recruiting for heavy civil, data centers, and renewable projects.
Construction executive recruiting for heavy civil, data centers, and renewable projects.
Ed founded RCD Group in 2002 with a focus on one thing: putting the right leaders on high-stakes construction projects. For 22+ years, he's placed project managers, superintendents, and project engineers on heavy civil, highway, data center, and renewable energy jobs across the U.S.
His conversations go beyond titles and software lists. He talks through change orders, scope creep mid-pour, subs who've been burned, weather delays, safety, and the reality of running work with tight margins. That's what lets him match contractors with leaders who can manage both the project and the people.
His phone is always on, his network runs deep, and his track record speaks for itself.
RCD Group is a boutique construction executive recruiting firm focused on one thing: putting the right leaders on high-stakes projects. We're not a resume shop. Contractors come to us when they need one or two serious finalists who can actually run a $100M–$400M job — not 50 unqualified applicants.
Most of the people we place are currently employed, not scrolling job boards, and will only move for the right role and the right team. That's the narrow slice of talent we recruit every day.
Technology is changing the tools. Autonomous equipment, AI-driven scheduling, and drones are becoming standard on job sites — but they don't run themselves. The clients who win the next decade will have project leaders who understand both the work and the new tools.
1–2 serious finalists per search, not piles of resumes. Contractors come to us because we deliver candidates who can actually run the job — not 50 applicants who can't.
Many clients have been with us for nearly a decade. That trust is earned through consistent results and direct, no-fluff communication from people who speak construction.
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.
Every search is handled with discretion. Whether it's a confidential executive search or a sensitive replacement, your trust is sacred.
Our candidates are already employed and vetted — not active job-board shoppers. They'll only move for the right role and the right team, and we know how to make that conversation happen.
