Construction Staffing & Residency Services

Experienced Construction Professionals. When and Where You Need Them.

Cambridge Resources Incorporated (CRI) provides specialized staffing and residency services for construction companies, general contractors, subcontractors, facility operators, developers, and project owners requiring qualified professionals for permanent placement.

Our construction staffing model is designed around a straightforward objective: identify experienced professionals whose qualifications, licenses, certifications, safety training, and project experience align with the actual requirements of the job.

From skilled trades to construction management, CRI can provide personnel for individual positions or help build complete project teams.

 

Qualifications Matter

Construction staffing requires more than matching keywords on a résumé.

CRI works to understand the actual requirements of the position before recruiting begins, including:

  • Trade experience
  • Years of experience
  • Construction environment
  • Required licenses
  • Required certifications
  • Safety qualifications
  • Equipment experience
  • Project type
  • Supervisory experience
  • Scheduling requirements
  • Geographic requirements
  • Client culture
  • Compensation
  • Assignment duration

Our objective is to submit candidates who actually match the requirements of the project, rather than overwhelming clients with résumés.

MEP Management Expertise

MEP projects require managers who can coordinate mechanical, electrical, plumbing, controls, commissioning, scheduling, cost, safety, and field execution as a unified program rather than as separate disciplines.

CRI can provide experienced MEP management professionals with combined expertise in:

  • Multidiscipline MEP coordination
  • Design and constructability review
  • BIM/VDC coordination and clash resolution
  • Trade contractor management
  • Scheduling and critical-path coordination
  • Cost control, estimating, and change management
  • Procurement and long-lead equipment tracking
  • RFI, submittal, and document management
  • QA/QC and code compliance
  • Safety coordination
  • Testing, commissioning, and turnover
  • Owner, architect, engineer, and contractor communication

Flexible Engagement Models

Cambridge Resources can support:

  • Long-Term Residency
  • Project-Based Staffing
  • Direct Hire
  • Permanent Placement
  • Individual Resource Placement

Screening & Verification

Where requested and legally permissible, CRI can incorporate client-specific screening requirements into the recruiting and onboarding process, including:

  • Employment Verification
  • Professional Reference Checks
  • License Verification
  • Certification Verification
  • Background Screening
  • Drug Screening
  • Motor Vehicle Record Checks
  • Client-Specific Safety Requirements
  • Site-Specific Onboarding Requirements

Safety, Qualifications & Accountability

Construction projects carry significant operational, financial, regulatory, and safety responsibilities.

Cambridge Resources approaches construction staffing accordingly.

Our objective is straightforward:

Provide qualified people with the appropriate experience, credentials, and professional standards for the work they are being asked to perform.

We believe clients should know who they are hiring, what qualifications those individuals possess, and whether those qualifications align with the requirements of the project.

That approach reflects the principles Cambridge Resources brings to every engagement:

Integrity. Accountability. Respect. Dedication. Operational Excellence.

Construction Residency Services

CRI’s Construction Residency Services provide clients with qualified professionals assigned to their organization or project for an extended period while remaining part of the CRI staffing and management structure.

This model can be particularly effective for:

  • Multi-month and multi-year construction projects
  • New facility construction
  • Facility expansions
  • Renovation programs
  • Data center construction
  • Manufacturing facility construction
  • Healthcare construction
  • Retail construction and rollouts
  • Commercial real estate projects
  • Infrastructure projects
  • Equipment installation and commissioning
  • Capital improvement programs
  • Maintenance and modernization initiatives
  • Temporary increases in project workload

Residency engagements can range from a single specialized professional to an entire project team.

CRI works with the client to define the required skills, experience, licenses, certifications, schedule, location, project duration, and reporting responsibilities before candidates are presented.
