Keller is a premier executive search firm with global reach specializing in professional recruitment for the infrastructure industry. We have decades of experience assisting companies seeking top talent with the requisite skills to succeed in leadership roles across this sector.
Characterized by large, complex projects and a decrease in public funding, today’s infrastructure industry is increasingly relying on new technologies, as well as better data and analytics capabilities, to transform the design of these projects. Companies in the infrastructure sector are expected to keep up the pace in order to stay relevant.
As a result, there has been a fundamental shift in what is considered a successful executive, and the market demand for new stakeholders and talented infrastructure professionals has increased. In such a fast-paced industry, it can be difficult to find the right executive to supplement your team.
Keller’s strategic approach and deep industry insights set us apart from other infrastructure executive search firms. Our proven track record speaks volumes about our ability to source the right talent for our client firms.
Our steadfast dedication to providing quality services, tailor-made recruitment solutions, and the talent our clients need to elevate their businesses is what distinguishes Keller from other infrastructure recruiters and executive search firms. We are devoted to providing what you need to emerge as frontrunners in the infrastructure and construction industry.To achieve this, we employ:
At Keller, our primary mission is to gain deep insight into your company and its culture, as well as your objectives. This creates a great foundation for us to evaluate your current team and compare it to your goals. From there, we can accurately identify which competencies and roles are missing and need to be filled.
We also assess every potential candidate’s credentials before we shortlist them for your consideration. Following this approach is a strategic and effective way to ensure that we secure more accurate matches who have the necessary mindset and skills to improve your business, contribute to its growth, and ensure future success.
Once our initial evaluation has been completed, our devoted recruiting experts combine their knowledge and understanding of your business needs with our vast network of leaders to provide you with the perfect match for your company.
Our approach not only focuses on candidates who are actively looking for new jobs, but also on passive job seekers who are already employed but may be open to a strategic career move. This targeted outreach method enables us to recruit for a wide range of senior-level roles within the infrastructure and construction industry, from C-suite executives to General Managers.
Keller provides clients around the world with top talent to address their biggest challenges, fill leadership gaps, and contribute to their bottom line. Additionally, we provide advisory services that ensure our clients are fully equipped to retain and develop their workforce. These services include executive coaching, succession planning, and salary benchmarking, among others.
Renowned for our dependability, outstanding relationships with our clients, and commitment to top-tier executive search and recruitment services, Keller assists in improving the infrastructure sector globally. Our approach to recruitment is detailed and comprehensive, to ensure that our clients get only the very best candidates to choose from.
We begin by analyzing the hiring company’s requirements to comprehend their culture, values, and goals. This allows us to build the ideal candidate profile and flesh out the exact qualities candidates need in order to be considered for the role. Next, we tap into our extensive network to pinpoint the top performers in our client’s field. We also utilize advanced recruitment technology to make the search faster and more efficient.
We value inclusivity and prioritize presenting you with prospective employees who are as diverse as they are talented. As such, we follow an unbiased selection process that considers all candidates equally for a position. This means we only take into account prospects’ qualifications, skills, and character traits and disregard attributes related to their outward appearance, ethnicity, or personal beliefs.
With our search concluded, we reach out to every individual to establish their interest in the role. We then assess each finalist to confirm their compatibility and verify their resumes. Our evaluations consist of competency assessments, psychometric tests, behavioral interviews, and background checks.
The result of our evaluation is a shortlist of fully vetted candidates that we introduce to our client, who ultimately decides who they want to hire.
Keller’s executive search and recruitment method is the product of learning from the mistakes we made as a young firm. As several of our consultants may recall, we originally used a one-size-fits-all approach that ignored the fact that no two businesses are alike. It also overlooked some of the factors that help secure a good placement, such as cultural alignment.
We realized these shortcomings after one particular engagement with a prominent customer ended in failure. They had tasked us with appointing a qualified candidate for a leadership vacancy, and while we were successful in securing someone who matched the job description, they did not gel with the rest of our client’s staff. This caused conflict between the new hire and existing team members, eventually leading to the former’s untimely resignation.
Following this, we turned our attention to catering to our clients’ individual hiring needs instead of employing a single, standard approach that resulted in subpar placements. This change to our hiring process bolstered our success rates, garnering us international renown. Today, Keller is widely recognized for our stellar executive search solutions that clients rely on for building a strong talent bench.

Infrastructure recruiting is the complex process of identifying, attracting, and hiring skilled professionals for roles within this broad industry, which includes fields such as energy, transportation, civil engineering, construction, and IT infrastructure. The sector’s often challenging work environments, large-scale project staffing needs, and demand for highly specialized skills make finding the right candidates a tall order, but an essential one. Securing high-quality infrastructure talent allows organizations to address skill gaps, maintain operational continuity, and deliver complex projects on time and up to standard.
Whether you’re an employer or a candidate seeking a new job opportunity, you can find a recruiter by leveraging professional networks, online platforms, and industry resources. Networking remains one of the most effective ways of reaching recruiters – you can ask colleagues or industry contacts for referrals that can lead to trusted recruiter recommendations.
LinkedIn is a popular tool that allows both employers and candidates to search for recruiters who specialize in their fields, build relationships by engaging with their posts, and send personalized connection requests. Job boards such as Glassdoor and Indeed often list roles posted by recruiters, making it possible to identify and connect with them directly.
If you’re an employer, you can consult professional associations or recruiter directories for reputable recruiters in your specific industry. Staffing agencies and recruiting firms also offer access to specialized recruiters with hands-on experience in sourcing candidates for your sector.
