Construction & Infrastructure Recruiting

The Valley and Sacramento corridor are building — housing, logistics, water, and infrastructure — and the leaders who can run those projects are in short supply. We place the project executives and superintendents who keep jobs on schedule and under control.

The Market

What’s driving this practice right now.

Housing, logistics, and public infrastructure work have kept construction firms across the Valley and Sacramento corridor busy building backlog faster than they can staff it. Water and infrastructure projects add another layer of demand for people who understand public-works timelines and bonding requirements, not just private commercial builds.

The real war is for superintendents and project managers willing to live where the work is — not commute in for a year and leave. That’s a smaller pool than the job boards suggest, and it moves through relationships and reputation more than postings.

This is a practice Aidan knows firsthand — before founding Clover he spent years placing construction talent for two of the largest staffing firms in the country, and it’s still where he’s most comfortable picking up the phone.
