The Perillo Group is an engineering recruiting firm that fills the roles engineering firms feel most: the licensed engineer who can stamp and lead, the project engineer who keeps work moving, and the specialist a whole practice area depends on. We run direct hire searches for civil, structural, electrical, and mechanical engineers for firms across the country. Every search starts with a conversation about the actual work, the team, and the license and software requirements that are truly required, because in engineering hiring the difference between a good shortlist and a wasted month is almost always in the brief.
Senior level and licensed (PE) searches are a large part of our work, including roles where the right person is employed, not looking, and needs a reason to take a call.
Engineering searches stall for predictable reasons: a requirement list written for a person who does not exist, a salary band set from a three year old survey, and feedback that waits while the candidate takes another offer. We run it the other way.
Every search we run is direct hire. There are no upfront fees, and every placement carries a 90 day replacement guarantee. If the person does not work out in the first 90 days, we run the search again.
We are based in the Philadelphia area and recruit for engineering firms in every region of the country, including the Northeast, the mid Atlantic, Texas, the Southeast, and the Midwest. Engineering talent is mobile at the senior level and local at the project level; we recruit with both realities in mind.
Tell us the role you need filled and we will tell you honestly what the market looks like for it, how long it should take, and what it will pay. Call us at 215.528.4256 or send the role through our Request Talent page.

Nothing upfront. We work on a direct hire basis: you pay a fee only when your hire starts, agreed in writing before the search begins. If we do not fill the role, you do not pay for the search.
Most clients see their first qualified candidates within days of the brief. Licensed and specialized roles take longer than generalist ones, and we will give you a straight read on the market before we start.
Yes. PE licensed engineers are a core part of what we do, across civil, structural, electrical, and mechanical disciplines, along with project engineers, engineering project managers, and designers.
Every placement carries a 90 day replacement guarantee. If the hire leaves or is let go within the first 90 days, we run the replacement search at no additional fee.
Yes. We are based in the Philadelphia area and recruit for engineering firms in every region of the country.
No. Candidates never pay; the hiring firm pays our fee. Conversations are confidential, including if you are currently employed.
