The Opportunity

HeatherDaniel International (HDi), a construction recruitment specialist, is searching for a Mission Critical Cost Estimator to work in the most aggressive growth sector in the US: data centers and mission-critical infrastructure. The seat sits in Doral / the Airport District.

You will provide specialised cost management for technical environments where performance margins are material to business outcomes.

Why candidates choose HDi

We start with you, not with a requisition to fill. The people we place today are often the clients who hire us tomorrow. That only works if we treat the first conversation with care.

We know what a Quantity Surveyor is. We work in verticals — cost, project advisory, claims and dispute, built-environment leadership, and data center and mission-critical programmes — not as a generalist shop that learns your job from a Wikipedia page.

We are honest about salary and fit, even when the answer is no. We do not mailshot your curriculum vitae. We do not share it without your consent. That promise is written in full on our Candidate Charter.

We stay with you from the first call through interview, offer, resignation and start.
