Construction Recruiters — Colorado
Specialist construction recruiters for Colorado’s heavy civil, site development, paving, and multi-family contractors — Denver, the Front Range, and the growing mountain markets.
Colorado’s Front Range continues to be one of the strongest construction markets in the Mountain West. Denver’s multi-family pipeline, continued highway and transit investment, and sustained site development volume all compete for the same talent pool — and the Colorado construction labor market is structurally tight.
Our Colorado desk is led by Ruth Nielsen-Jopson, who covers all construction roles across the state. Ruth also runs our Survey / Scheduling / Fleet specialty, giving Colorado clients a single point of contact for both core and specialist hires.

Colorado construction recruiting FAQ
Do you cover Denver specifically or the whole Front Range?
Both. Denver is our primary metro but we also cover Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Boulder, and the mountain markets.
What’s driving CO construction demand?
Sustained population growth, multi-family absorption, and ongoing transportation and heavy civil investment.
How does CO pay compare to TX?
Denver superintendent and PM comp typically tracks 5-10% above Houston and Dallas due to cost of living.
Do you place for mountain-market projects?
Yes, though we’re candid about the fit — not every candidate is willing to relocate to mountain markets, so we screen for that early.

Field 2-4 weeks, mid-level 3-6 weeks, senior 6-10 weeks.
