Executive search delivered with expertise, integrity, and a deep understanding of the Southern California construction market.
We connect Southern California's leading GCs and construction managers with field and office talent vetted the way a senior project executive would — not by keyword.
Our founder has held every role you're targeting — from Project Engineer to Project Executive — across Southern California's most demanding commercial construction environments.
Vetted Search Partners was built on a simple premise: the only way to truly vet construction talent is to understand what construction talent actually does. Patrick Morse began his career working for a landscaping and earthwork subcontractor through high school — before earning a degree in Construction Management and advancing through the office ranks at both large ENR-ranked firms and high-performing regional organizations across Southern California.
He has delivered projects across Lump Sum, GMP, and Design-Build contract structures, with extensive preconstruction experience — having coordinated with estimating and marketing teams on competitive pursuits, reviewed prime contracts, and supported project strategy from pursuit through execution. That depth of cross-functional experience is what every VSP search is built on.
Our sector knowledge comes from direct project experience — which means we understand how job requirements, team structures, and talent profiles differ by sector, not just by title.
