Our Approach to This Industry
gpac helps companies across the U.S. hire skilled engineering professionals, from technical specialists to engineering leaders. We have engineering recruiters connecting organizations—through specialized recruitment, deep industry knowledge, and nationwide reach—with high-impact technical talent across specialties and end-user fields, including civil, geotechnical, structural, and surveying.
Although the engineering services sector’s growth expectations remain promising due to its influence on other industries, fast-paced technological innovation, along with significant infrastructure investments and an aging workforce, is causing a worker shortage in some roles.
The expertise of our engineering recruiters will give companies facing this type of scenario and urgent hiring needs the competitive advantage they need to secure the most qualified talent for roles such as civil & electrical engineers, crew chiefs, project managers, land surveyors, and more.
What we do in engineering recruitment
Not only does the engineering industry have a close relationship with other sectors such as construction, clean energy, tech, and data, but it remains a field that has experienced consistent growth over the past few years despite economic uncertainty.
Such is the impact of engineering and design services on the United States economy that, according to the ACEC Research Institute, every dollar produced by this industry adds $1.50 to the national GDP; in 2023 alone, the engineering sector contributed $656 million to the U.S. GDP.
When it comes to employment, the engineering industry is also a strong contributor: in 2023 alone, this sector supported over 5.6 million jobs, both directly and indirectly.
