Industrial Construction & EPC

Innovative recruitment practices

We, at Industrial QOP, recruit for industrial construction and EPC by staying anchored to how process and energy projects are actually delivered in the U.S.—scope-driven, specialty-trade heavy, and won or lost on constructability, long-lead procurement, and clean turnover. We target proven performers who have lived the realities of multi-discipline execution across industrial plants, oil & gas and power work, and utility systems, and who can operate inside tight safety, quality, and documentation expectations from field build through commissioning.

QUALITY OPERATIONS, QUALITY TALENT, REAL IMPACT,

High-touch approach that drives results

In industrial construction and EPC, “high-touch” means we stay close to the project’s real operating conditions—craft-heavy execution, multi-discipline interfaces, long-lead constraints, and the pressure of safe turnover into commissioning. We, at Industrial QOP, keep communication tight with the decision-makers and the field so we represent the work accurately, not as a generic construction job. That context lets us screen for people who can thrive in similar process/energy environments, reducing mismatches, avoiding churn, and cutting down on interview cycles that waste time on both sides.

Our Process

Frequently asked questions

How do we run searches for companies in industrial construction and EPC?

We use a fully outbound recruitment process. We do not post jobs or rely on inbound applicants. We define the requirements, map the talent in industrial construction and EPC, and reach out directly to professionals who match those requirements. This keeps the search focused on proven performers instead of active job seekers.

How do we decide which candidates to target and present?

We convert your brief into clear must have criteria for experience, responsibilities, and results. We then identify professionals who meet those criteria and speak with them to confirm depth, alignment, and readiness. Only candidates who fit the role and environment are presented.

How fast do we deliver candidates?

On average, we provide a usable shortlist within 2.5 weeks. The outbound model removes delays caused by job postings and allows us to target relevant profiles immediately, which reduces interview waste and shortens the hiring cycle.

How does our pricing and guarantee work?

We operate on a full contingency basis. All research and outreach are funded upfront. You are invoiced 30 days after the hire starts. If the hire does not stay for at least 180 days, we restart the search under the same agreement. This keeps most of the risk on our side until the hire is stable.

Do we also handle executive and leadership roles in industrial construction and EPC?

Yes. Over the past eight years we have built a strong network of operators, senior managers, and leadership professionals within industrial construction and EPC. When an executive search comes in, we use that network to identify leaders with relevant experience, proven judgment, and stable track records. This lets us support both day to day ancillary hiring and higher-level leadership needs within the same industry.

How do we handle confidentiality during the search?

We keep both sides protected. Candidate conversations stay private, and client details are only shared once a candidate meets the core requirements and expresses genuine interest. This avoids unnecessary exposure for both the company and the candidate.

How do we communicate with candidates throughout the process?

We contact candidates directly, set expectations early, and relay only accurate information about the role. Candidates understand the workload, environment, and reporting structure before speaking with you. This reduces mismatched expectations and improves close rates.
