For Hiring Managers and Principals
The candidates you actually want aren’t on the job boards — they’re already busy doing great work somewhere else. That’s where I come in. I run a retained search practice serving AEC firms across Western New York, with a small caseload so each search gets real attention. Fewer Resumes. Better Fit. Faster Hire.
For Architects, Engineers, AEC Pros
If I reach out, it’s because there’s something real worth a conversation. You’ll get straight talk about the role, real interview prep, salary negotiation support, and an honest take on whether the opportunity is right for you. If it’s not, I’ll tell you why. Your reputation matters — so does mine.
Roles We Place
- Architects & Project Architects
- Civil Engineers (Transportation, Structural, Water/Wastewater, Environmental)
- MEP/FP Engineers
- Estimators
- Project Accountants
- Business Development & Sales Leaders
- Practice Leaders
Our Services
Clients
Ever waste time interviewing “the perfect candidate” only to find that all those skills listed on the resume didn’t reflect actual work experience? We get details and substance to support our candidates’ credentials. And we tell their story- not just what they have done, but what they can do and where they want to be.
Candidates
We help two types of candidates: those who are actively seeking a new job, and those who are content with their current job but who will make a move when a better opportunity comes along. Establish a relationship with Nordstrom Williams, and we’ll be there to let you know when your ideal opportunity comes along or when the time is right for you to make a change.
Greetings from Nordstrom Williams!
