Advastar builds construction teams in Huntsville by connecting owners, general contractors, and specialty subs with people who know how to deliver in the Rocket City. We support direct hire, contract, contract to hire, and employer of record payrolling so project leaders can add staff quickly and scale as schedules shift across Madison and Limestone counties. Our focus is clear. Match proven talent to the work that defines Huntsville, from research labs and secure facilities to manufacturing expansions and roadway improvements that keep growth on track.
Our recruiters bring more than six decades of combined experience to North Alabama and apply it to complex capital programs at Redstone Arsenal and the FBI campus, laboratory and test environments tied to Marshall Space Flight Center and Cummings Research Park, hospital and university projects near downtown, and advanced manufacturing and logistics builds along I 565 and the Greenbrier area. We staff drafting and design roles, engineering positions, and construction management seats including project managers, superintendents, foremen, estimators, schedulers, project controls, safety, procurement, and QA QC. We also place skilled trades such as NCCCO crane operators, certified riggers, millwrights, electricians, pipefitters, sheet metal mechanics, concrete finishers, carpenters, and low voltage technicians, plus commissioning agents and the operations staff who keep jobsites organized from mobilization through turnover.
Every search is built around the realities of delivering projects in Huntsville. We learn your culture, the scope, and the technical standards you follow, then align recruiting to base access and background requirements for secure sites, owner safety programs, and outage windows that limit work to specific shifts. Our team understands coordination with Huntsville Utilities and TVA, water and sewer tie ins with local authorities, permit sequencing with the City of Huntsville and the City of Madison, and traffic control near Research Park Boulevard, Memorial Parkway, and the growing hospital district. That local context shapes our sourcing, interviews, and reference checks so the shortlists you receive are accurate and actionable.
Sourcing draws from a national network and a deep bench close to home. We engage candidates from the University of Alabama in Huntsville and Alabama A and M, tap Calhoun Community College and Drake State pipelines, and partner with AIDT and regional apprenticeship programs that develop electricians, HVAC technicians, welders, and equipment operators. Our proprietary database highlights passive candidates who already have experience on Arsenal work, cleanrooms, data centers, hangars, and high bay test spaces. Advanced tools and practical assessments verify skills in plan review, takeoff and estimating, scheduling, safety, commissioning, and stakeholder communication so the resumes you see are ready for interviews.
The result is a hiring partner that brings you people who can step onto a Huntsville jobsite and contribute on day one. Whether you are adding leadership for a multi building research campus, standing up a fast track interiors team in Cummings Research Park, tackling utility relocations for a road widening, or filling niche roles in controls, instrumentation, and facilities maintenance, Advastar is ready to help you keep budgets, quality, and timelines on course.

Civil contractors lay the foundational elements of infrastructure projects, such as roads, highways, water systems, and bridges. Due to the complexity and public safety implications of this work, it’s critical to hire professionals who have a deep understanding of civil engineering principles and regulatory compliance. Advastar’s specialized recruiting approach helps you source qualified engineers, project managers, and tradespeople who can handle large-scale, long-term construction needs while meeting critical deadlines and quality standards.
Commercial construction projects often require multiple phases and collaboration of cross-functional teams.

Advastar connects companies to vetted electricians, project managers, and supervisors who can deliver reliable electrical solutions for all project sizes.
Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) professionals are essential for the success of large-scale projects, especially in sectors like energy, infrastructure, and industrial construction. Their end-to-end expertise allows them to manage every phase, from design through delivery, in compliance with industry standards. Advastar connects employers with engineers, construction managers, and other EPC talent that have technical expertise, project management skills, and experience working on complex, multidisciplinary projects.
Reliable general contractors are essential for the success of any construction or renovation project.

Advastar gives our clients access to a network of pre-vetted professionals so they can find the ideal candidates to ensure your project’s success.
Industrial contractors tackle large-scale projects in manufacturing, energy, and other highly regulated sectors, often working with specialized equipment and stringent safety standards. Their ability to coordinate intricate processes—from fabrication and assembly to installation and testing—demands a high level of technical expertise and compliance know-how. This focus on precision and safety can make finding qualified professionals a significant challenge. Advastar’s targeted recruitment solutions connect companies to industrial contractors who bring both the required technical prowess and regulatory awareness, helping ensure operations run smoothly, on budget, and with minimal risk of downtime.
Highways, bridges, rail, and transit upgrades need people who know DOT rules, heavy civil methods, and public-agency politics. With new federal money flowing, qualified engineers and superintendents are scarce. We track down P.E.-licensed pros and P6 schedulers who can steer billion-dollar jobs and still close them on time.
Maintenance contractors ensure buildings and facilities continue operating at peak performance long after construction is complete. They handle preventative upkeep, emergency repairs, and system upgrades, keeping downtime to a minimum. This broad skill set can make them difficult to find, especially for specialized or high-stakes environments. Leveraging Advastar’s deep talent network helps employers quickly identify and hire maintenance professionals with the right expertise to handle their specific needs.
Mechanical contractors design, install, and maintain the vital systems that keep buildings functional and comfortable—HVAC, piping, and refrigeration among others. As market demands rise for energy efficiency and sustainable design, finding talent with the right technical expertise and certifications becomes even more important. Advastar’s robust recruitment process connects companies with mechanical contractors who bring both the hands-on skills and project management capabilities to drive cost-effective, compliant solutions.
Recruiting the right Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) professionals is vital for the successful completion of construction projects, ensuring all of their systems are efficient, safe, and compliant with regulations. Finding experienced MEP professionals (leadership, operations, and construction management) and skilled tradespeople (NCCCO crane operators, certified riggers, and millwrights) who have the right technical expertise and knowledge of industry standards can be a challenge, and one a well-connected search firm like Advastar can help companies solve.
While they have a smaller scope than commercial construction, multifamily residential construction projects often have tighter timelines that can make them challenging to hire for in a fast-moving labor market. Advastar’s extensive network of talent in engineering, construction management and skilled trades give us the edge for building a reliable workforce of in-demand talent with the skills your project requires.
Owners and developers provide the vision and financial backbone for construction projects, coordinating every stage from feasibility studies to final occupancy. Their leadership and decision-making often set the pace for the entire project team, making it critical that they partner with a reliable workforce that can support budgetary and quality objectives. Advastar’s recruiting solutions streamline this process by connecting owners and developers with experienced professionals who understand how to align construction execution with overall project goals.
A project lives or dies by its manager. Great PMs balance scope, budget, and safety while keeping all the trades moving. Firms fight hard for leaders with PMP, CCM, or AACE credentials and a record of finishing under cost. We connect you with PMs, schedulers, and cost-control pros who hit milestones and own the jobsite from day one.
Jobs stall when craft workers arrive late or under-qualified. Our roster of skilled tradespeople covers crane operators, riggers, millwrights, and pipefitters whose certifications and references check out. They show up ready, keep the job moving, and deliver quality work from first pour to final punch list.
Specialty contractors bring the focused expertise necessary for niche construction requirements, whether it’s precision welding, high-end millwork, or exterior façade restoration. Because these roles often call for industry-specific certifications and advanced technical knowledge, sourcing the right candidates can be a significant challenge.
