Specialist recruiting
Design-Build & Hardscape Recruiting
Landscape design-build and hardscape is project work, where margin is set at the estimate and protected through production, and the leadership that runs it is closer to construction management than maintenance. Bloom Talent Solutions is a boutique executive and management search firm that places the project and production leaders who deliver design-build work profitably. We recruit the management layer, not the install crews.
Roles we recruit
The leadership and management roles we most often recruit in design-build and hardscape include:
- Project Manager and Senior Project Manager
- Production Manager
- Estimator
- Design-Build Sales Lead
- Operations Manager
- Account Manager
- Director of Construction
- Vice President of Operations
Why a specialist
Design-build leadership wins or loses margin at the estimate and the production schedule, and a leader who cannot hold scope, sequence trades, and manage a build will erase the profit a sale created. A specialist recruiter who understands hardscape production can tell whether a candidate has genuinely delivered complex projects on budget or simply sold them, which generalists routinely miss.
Frequently asked questions
What roles does Bloom recruit in design-build and hardscape?
We recruit design-build and hardscape leadership, including project and production managers, estimators, design-build sales leaders, operations managers, account managers, and construction executives. We place the project and management layer, not install crews.
Is design-build leadership different from maintenance leadership?
Very. Design-build runs on estimating accuracy, project sequencing, and production control, closer to construction than recurring service. We recruit for that project-management discipline specifically and do not treat it as interchangeable with maintenance experience.
How does Bloom protect a design-build leadership hire?
Our search is retained, confidential, and specialist, and each placement carries tiered guarantees at 45, 90, and 365 days. With placements holding above 90% one-year retention, we protect the project pipeline and margin a design-build division depends on.
