Whether it's a highway, a treatment plant or a power project, Metric Geo places the executives accountable for delivering it.
About Metric Geo
At Metric Geo, we run Executive Search for Infrastructure organizations, from vice president through C-suite. We work across Heavy Civil & Transportation, Water & Wastewater, Power & Renewables, Environmental & Geotechnical, Land Development & Residential, Commercial Construction, Engineering & Inspection, and Industrial & Manufacturing.
Typical searches include CEO, President, COO, VP of Operations, Project Executive and business development leadership across contractors, engineering firms and utilities.
Why Metric Geo
Metric is a specialist Executive Search firm, not a generalist with an Infrastructure desk. The best Infrastructure leaders are usually mid-project, not mid-job-search. Through Metric Geo, our consultants know the programs, the regions and the delivery pressures well enough to be worth their time.
Our consultants understand the technical, regulatory and delivery pressures of each Infrastructure market, and hire against them specifically.
Leadership talent in renewable energy and grid-scale delivery is genuinely scarce. We keep those relationships warm for years, so a search begins from conversations already underway.
We publish the Built Environment Bulletin and host the Voices of Automation podcast, featuring leaders from firms such as Project Farma and Trinity Consultants. It keeps our consultants in close conversation with the people clients want to hire.
What we cover
Metric Geo covers Heavy Civil & Transportation, Water & Wastewater, Power & Renewables, Environmental & Geotechnical, Land Development & Residential, Commercial Construction, Engineering & Inspection, and Industrial & Manufacturing, each with its own specialist consultants and candidate network.
Highways, bridges, rail and major civil programs, and the project and operations leaders who deliver them.
Water & Wastewater treatment, networks and utilities, across project delivery, operations and engineering leadership.
Generation, transmission, solar, wind and storage, from development through construction to operation.
Environmental consulting, remediation and ground engineering firms, across technical, project and business development leadership.
Land developers, site work contractors and residential builders, hiring the leaders who take a site from entitlement to closing.

How we work
Every Metric Geo search follows the same five stages, from the first conversation about the role to support after the offer is signed.
We take a detailed brief on the role, the team and what the hire needs to deliver.
We map everyone who could do the role, including people who are not looking, using what every previous search has taught us. You see the market before anyone is approached.
Our consultants approach candidates through the Infrastructure network we have built, and assess each one against the brief rather than the resume.
You meet a shortlist of candidates who fit the brief, and we keep both sides informed at every stage.
We manage the offer and negotiation, and stay involved after your new leader starts.
What we offer
Every search comes with talent mapping and access to our market intelligence, tailored to Infrastructure hiring.
Vice president through C-suite searches, run by a team of specialists who work in your market and backed by the audience our podcasts and newsletters have built. We assess against the brief rather than the resume, and stay involved after the offer is signed.
We map everyone who could do the role, not just the people looking. Where they sit, what they are paid and who is likely to move, so you see the real market before you commit to a hire.
Every search we run adds to our picture of the Infrastructure market. We know who is moving, what leadership roles pay and how strong teams are built, and our clients get that intelligence with our advice on how to use it.

Perspectives from our sector specialists on talent trends, market intelligence and leadership, alongside conversations with the leaders shaping Infrastructure.
In this episode Zach Gelo sits down with Kyle Mahan, Chief Operating Officer at Lightspeed Robotics, to discuss his career, craft and his read on where the industry is heading.
Welcome back to the Built Environment Bulletin. Over the last few weeks, three things have stood out to me across the forensic engineering, building enclosure, and construction claims markets: private equity is now reshaping both sides of the litigation table, contractors are facing a fresh wave of exposure tied to plumbing and HVAC failures, and a unanimous Supreme Court ruling has just removed one of the transportation industry's most reliable early-dismissal defenses. This edition walks through each of those threads.
Over the last few weeks, three things have stood out across the forensic engineering, building enclosure, and construction claims markets: consolidation is still accelerating, Commissioning standards are finally getting a long-overdue refresh, and one of the year's most closely watched structural failures is entering a new, more consequential phase. This edition walks through each of those threads.
