Construction & Engineering Support: OCONUS Recruiters
Firms that recruit the trades and technical staff behind overseas building and infrastructure projects.
18 of the 107 recruiters and staffing firms placing OCONUS / GovCon roles tracked on OCONUS Recruiters publish Construction & Engineering Support as a specialty, as of October 14, 2026. The featured partner, Recruitmint, is pinned first when it qualifies; every other row is alphabetical, unpaid, and drawn from public information.
Construction & Engineering Support firms recruit for the trades and technical staff behind overseas building and infrastructure work: project managers, site supervisors, civil and electrical engineers, and skilled trades. The work is usually tied to a specific project or contract, so hiring comes in waves. Firms are tagged here only when their own materials describe construction or engineering staffing. Many also appear under Embassy & State Dept Support or Logistics & Life Support, so check those pages if your project is facilities work on a base or a diplomatic compound. Expect questions about site access, medical screening and any clearance the project requires. Ask each firm which contracts it has staffed before.
