Plumbing Superintendent hired for a $180M Southeast healthcare tower

A large mechanical/plumbing contractor needed a working superintendent with medical gas (ASSE 6010) experience and prior healthcare tower delivery. The regional talent pool was thin and every viable candidate was under a non-compete or long-term project commitment.

Approach

Gulfstream mapped 32 target candidates across two states, prioritized by NFPA 99 healthcare experience, then engaged through a private outreach sequence. Interview loop compressed to two on-sites over five business days.

Outcome

Placed in 34 days. Candidate accepted at a 22% comp increase; contractor avoided a projected 4-month schedule slip on medical gas rough-in.

Results

  • Time to accepted offer: 34 days
  • Candidate map size: 32
  • Comp uplift accepted: +22%
  • Schedule risk avoided: ~4 months
