# Can a Construction Recruiter Help Me Even If My Background Is in One Sector and I Want to Move Into Another, Like From Roadway Into Data Centers?

Yes, and it is a question we hear often. Contractors building data center civil infrastructure actively value candidates with roadway and heavy civil backgrounds. The grading, utilities, and site development scopes are closely related to what data center site work demands. A recruiter who works across both sectors can frame your transferable experience clearly for hiring managers who may not immediately recognize the overlap. Project size, complexity, the specific scopes you have led, and any relevant certifications all shape how your background is positioned and what compensation you can expect in the new sector.
