Eric Dickerson

Hi, I'm Eric Dickerson, Senior Recruiter and founder of Gulfstream SP. Since February 2014, I've helped medium and large commercial mechanical construction companies across the U.S. hire the people who keep their projects moving, from service technicians to C-suite leaders. If you're hiring in HVAC, plumbing, piping, sheet metal, or building automation, I'd love to talk.

Hi, I'm Eric Dickerson. I founded Gulfstream Strategic Placements in 2014 with a simple goal: help commercial mechanical construction companies find great people. I have recruited for commercial mechanical contractors since February 2014 and built a LinkedIn community of more than 30,000 industry professionals who follow along for hiring trends, compensation benchmarks, and straight talk about the mechanical trades. Who do I work with? Medium and large commercial mechanical construction companies, mechanical contractors, building automation integrators, and union signatory contractors. I help them hire at every level: service technicians, project managers, estimators, service and operations leaders, VDC and preconstruction directors, and C-suite executives. The confidential, senior-level searches I handle personally. What makes working with me different is simple: I only recruit in this industry, so I know the people, the pay ranges, and what it takes to get a great candidate to say yes. Whether you're a contractor with a critical role to fill or a tradesperson thinking about your next move, reach out, I'm easy to talk to and happy to help, even if it's just advice.
