Who we are

Specialist recruitment for the US civil engineering consulting market

We connect exceptional professionals with firms where they can make a genuine impact — and we do it in one market, so we do it properly.

For Candidates

We provide confidential access to opportunities that often never reach a job board — along with honest insight into compensation, culture, leadership and career progression. We help you understand the market and make the right move, not simply the quickest one.

For Clients

We deliver access to high-performing engineers and leaders who are rarely actively applying. Every search is mapped thoroughly, qualified carefully and executed with speed, discretion and precision.

The Goal

Simple: stronger careers, stronger teams and partnerships built to last. One discipline, one standard, and a network that compounds with every placement we make.

Our services

Three ways to hire. One standard of delivery.

01 — DIRECT HIRE

Direct Hire

Permanent talent that strengthens your business beyond the immediate vacancy. From technical specialists and Project Managers to Directors and Vice Presidents, CiviSearch identifies professionals with the experience, ambition and cultural alignment to succeed long term. We manage every stage — from market mapping and initial approach through interview, negotiation and successful placement.

02 — RETAINED SEARCH

Retained Search

For critical appointments your business cannot afford to get wrong. Retained Search provides a dedicated, exclusive campaign built around your market, objectives and growth strategy. We map the full talent landscape, engage proven passive professionals and provide clear market intelligence throughout the process. Ideal for leadership, confidential and difficult-to-fill positions requiring complete focus and certainty of delivery.

03 — CONTINGENT SEARCH

Contingent Search

A fast, flexible solution for active hiring requirements. Using our specialist network, CiviSearch introduces carefully qualified professionals aligned with your technical needs, culture and commercial goals. You only pay a fee when you successfully hire — giving you immediate access to the market with minimal upfront commitment.

Our mission

The right person does more than fill a vacancy. They win clients, develop teams, deliver communities and change the trajectory of a business.

The right firm offers more than a new job. It gives an ambitious professional the platform, support and opportunity to build something meaningful.

Our mission is to bring those two together.

We give land development professionals honest market insight and confidential access to career-defining opportunities. We give consulting engineering firms access to proven talent capable of strengthening teams, expanding markets and shaping their future.

We do not simply make placements. We create partnerships that move careers and businesses forward.
