Gulfstream Strategic Placements is a direct-hire recruiting firm for commercial mechanical construction: HVAC, plumbing, piping, sheet metal and building controls. Here is why we do the work, what you get from us, and what to expect.
Our mission is to connect commercial mechanical professionals with contractor roles that fit their skills, experience and goals-and to stand behind the people we recommend. We focus on HVAC, plumbing, piping, sheet metal and building controls, from field service and installation to BIM/VDC, estimating, project delivery and leadership.
Every career in this trade is built on someone who vouched for you. A foreman who put in a word. A superintendent who took a chance on a second-year apprentice. A project manager who handed you a job before you felt ready.
That is the work we want to do. When we put a candidate in front of a hiring manager, we are putting our name behind them. So we talk with every candidate first, and we tell you the truth on a one-page write-up, concerns included. And when a helper or an apprentice calls, they get the same attention as a president, because today's apprentice is tomorrow's general superintendent.
We have recruited for commercial mechanical contractors since 2014, for union and open-shop employers alike.
We recruit for union-signatory and non-union (merit-shop) commercial mechanical contractors, including union-covered field roles and salaried staff positions. Union membership is not a blanket requirement for working with Gulfstream; the requirements depend on the specific position.
Gulfstream is union-independent. We are not a union hall, do not dispatch workers and do not claim formal union partnerships. For a union-covered role, hiring must follow the contractor's agreement and the local's referral rules. Your recruiter confirms the role's requirements; the hall is the source for membership, apprenticeship and dispatch information.

Not for every role. We recruit for union-signatory and merit-shop contractors. Union-covered hiring follows the contractor's agreement and local referral rules; Gulfstream does not dispatch workers.
