Screening criteria for Construction Purchasing Managers

  • Material knowledge: pipe, fittings, valves, hangers, sheet metal, insulation and mechanical equipment
  • Supplier experience across distributors, manufacturer reps and direct manufacturers

Frequently asked questions

Do you recruit purchasing for both construction and service?

Yes. We confirm whether the role buys for projects, service, prefab or all three, because supplier mix and order volume differ.

Do candidates need mechanical material experience?

For most mechanical contractors, yes. We screen for pipe, valve, fitting and equipment knowledge unless you tell us the role can be trained.

What is the fee structure?

Contingency (pay on hire) for most purchasing searches. Retained fees only when the role is confidential, executive, or requires exclusive engagement. 90-day replacement guarantee on contingency placements.
