Finding the Leaders Who Build AEC Companies.
Luxus Leadership Search is a retained executive search practice for Manager-through-C-suite leadership within Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and related industries. Specialized industry knowledge, proactive market mapping, and direct recruitment of passive leaders — managed through offer acceptance and transition.
Not a Staffing Desk With a New Name.
Luxus Group has always specialized in AEC talent. Leadership Search is the consultative, retained arm of that practice — built for the positions where a hiring mistake costs the most: the leaders who run projects, win work, and shape firms.
Six Disciplines Behind Every Leadership Placement.
AEC Industry Specialization
Every search is led by people who speak the language of AEC — project delivery, licensure, billable leadership, and the difference between a good project manager and a good business leader.
Proactive Market Mapping
We map the talent market before we recruit from it — competitor firms, org structures, emerging leaders, and compensation context — so your shortlist is built on intelligence, not luck.
Direct Recruitment of Passive Leaders
The best leaders aren't posting resumes. We identify and confidentially engage passive candidates who aren't looking — and who would only move for the right opportunity.
Leadership Assessment
Candidates are evaluated against both leadership and technical requirements: how they've built teams, won work, developed people, and delivered — not just what their resume says.
Compensation & Offer Consulting
We advise on market positioning, offer structure, and counter-offer risk — then help you close the leader you actually want, not the one who happens to be available.
Dedicated Search Resources
Each retained search receives dedicated recruiting resources and consistent communication from kickoff through transition — you always know exactly where your search stands.
Leadership Hires Deserve a Different Search Model.
When the role shapes the firm, the process has to match.

Six Phases. One Disciplined Method.
Every search follows a defined process — with consistent communication at every phase.
Confidential Consultation
A private working session on your growth plan, org structure, and leadership gaps.
Leadership Profile
A defined success profile: leadership requirements, technical requirements, and market context.
Market Mapping
We map competitor firms, org charts, and the leaders running the work you need won.
Direct Engagement
Confidential, white-glove outreach to passive leaders who aren't in the market.
Assessment & Presentation
Vetted finalists presented with evidence against the scorecard — not filtered resumes.
Offer & Transition
Offer consulting, counter-offer navigation, and transition support through start.
Built for the People Who Carry the Org Chart.
Luxus Leadership Search is engaged directly by the people accountable for leadership hiring — from owners and managing principals to the HR and talent leaders behind the seat.
Confidential by Design
Leadership searches are often sensitive — a retirement nobody can know about, a restructuring, a new market entry. Your search is conducted confidentially: your firm's name is protected until disclosure serves you, and candidate conversations are discreet by default.
- Your identity stays protected until you choose to disclose
- Passive leaders engaged quietly, never spammed
- Your inquiry to us stays between us
