Recruiting engineers and technical leaders
Civil / Geotechnical / Water & Wastewater
We speak the discipline, not the keyword
One contact
Start to finish, no handoffs
A specialist desk, not a keyword search.
Every discipline has its subspecialties, and every candidate has project and domain expertise within them. We know how to tell the difference and how to search for it. The hire only works when the background actually matches the seat.
Reach beyond the boards
The strongest engineers aren’t applying to postings, and some barely show up online. We know where to look when someone doesn’t have a LinkedIn profile, and referral networks built over 20 years put your role in front of them anyway.
Speed that holds quality
Good candidates have options and move quickly. You get a shortlist while the market is still open, and momentum that keeps them engaged through offer.
One point of contact
You work with Ben from the intake call through the start date. No junior researchers, no account handoffs, no repeating yourself.
Technical skill gets someone through the interview.
What decides the first year is whether they can hold a room with a client's operations staff, a consulting engineer, and their own project team.
We assess for that before you ever see the resume.
The harder-to-find seats.
Technical and leadership talent across consulting engineering firms, testing labs, OEMs, and systems integrators.
Civil and land development engineers, EIT to principal
Geomatics and survey professionals, field to management
Geotechnical engineers and materials testing leaders
Applications and process engineers with RO, UF, NF, or IX depth
Project managers in consulting, packaged, and design-build delivery
Technical sales and commercial leaders in treatment systems
From the design office to the plant floor.
Swiftsource was built in water treatment, and it is still the deepest desk on the board. The rest of the practice grew the same way: consulting engineering clients with hard technical searches who wanted a recruiter who could hold a real conversation about the work. The disciplines differ. The standard doesn’t.
Civil & Land Development · Municipal infrastructure, land development, water resources, geomatics and survey
Geotechnical & Materials · Geotechnical engineering, materials testing, environmental and remediation
Water & Wastewater · Membrane treatment systems (RO, UF, NF, IX), OEMs, integrators, and turnkey delivery
Tell us the seat you can't fill.
One conversation is usually enough to know whether the role can be filled locally, what it should pay, and how long it will take. You'll get a straight answer either way.
