Executive search firm for heavy civil and construction management roles
Peterson Consulting Group is an executive search firm focused on construction and civil engineering, with 28 years in the market and a track record of over 8,000 placements. The company operates a lean, construction-focused team (11 construction specialists) hiring against a backlog of complex projects—preconstruction, water treatment, roadway, and utility work dominate their current pipeline. Pain points center on placement velocity and visibility optimization, suggesting their core challenge is scaling recruitment throughput against project demand.
Peterson Consulting Group places mid- to senior-level construction professionals—estimators, project managers, and deep-foundation specialists—into roles across heavy highway, civil, commercial, water treatment, aggregates, and renewable energy sectors. The firm operates via contingency and retained search models, drawing on founder Gary Peterson's background as a degreed civil engineer with prior experience at SJ Groves, Kiewit, and Granite Construction. Current workload includes preconstruction, water/wastewater treatment facilities, roadway, utility relocation, and municipal infrastructure projects, with active ISO 9001 quality management implementation and WWTP audits underway. The company is based in Holladay, Utah, and hires across the United States and India.
