Boston HVAC and Mechanical Construction Recruiter

Boston's mechanical market is driven by life science lab construction, healthcare and higher education work across Greater Boston and Cambridge. Gulfstream recruits project managers, superintendents, estimators, service technicians and managers, BAS/controls technicians and VDC/BIM detailers for union and merit-shop commercial mechanical contractors in the metro. Every search is confidential.

Roles we fill in Boston

  • Mechanical and plumbing project managers
  • Superintendents and general foremen
  • Estimators and preconstruction leads
  • Commercial HVAC service technicians and service managers
  • BAS/controls technicians (DDC, BACnet)
  • VDC/BIM detailers and project engineers

How a search works

  1. Send the role, location and scope in the job-order form. It goes straight to your recruiter.
  2. We confirm requirements, pay range and timing on a short intake call.
  3. You see screened candidates with a written summary of each. Your company name stays out of the market until an interview is agreed.

Most searches run on contingency — you pay only when a hire starts — with a 90-day replacement guarantee on contingency placements; retained fees apply only to confidential or executive searches.
