US Construction Jobs API - JobsIndex by Aspen Tech Labs

This Actor provides direct access to US construction job postings, from hands-on job-site work to executive roles at general contractors. It currently covers approximately 70,000 active construction jobs from 11,313 unique US employers, sourced from both direct employers and staffing agencies and updated daily.

The dataset captures hiring across the industry: a homebuilder such as D.R. Horton may be recruiting carpenters and site supervisors while a regional roofing company needs roofers or drywall installers and a Texas data-center project needs crane operators.

Jobs are organized into sub-categories such as construction manager, construction worker, installer, construction surveyor, carpenter, heavy equipment operator, painter, construction engineer, cabinet maker, and glazier. Title-level detail extends to construction superintendent, installation technician, construction estimator, site supervisor, roofer, crane operator, drywall installer, and insulator.

Coverage includes direct-employer postings from general contractors such as Turner Construction and Brasfield & Gorrie, homebuilders such as D.R. Horton, and companies such as Amazon and CBRE hiring their own construction and facilities staff. It also includes specialized construction and skilled-trades staffing agencies such as Aerotek, Michael Page, Insight Global, and MRINetwork.

Coverage spans every major US metro area. Use this Actor as an organic backfill layer for construction and skilled-trades job boards, as a competitive hiring signal for construction firms and staffing agencies, or as a data source for economists and researchers tracking regional construction employment and wage trends.

Built-In Search Preset

Limits and Pagination

This Actor uses the JobsIndex jobs API. Results are paginated with page and size.

Parameter	Default	Min	Max
page	0	0	Depends on size and the item cap
size	5	1	100

Invalid page or size values can return 400 Invalid page or size parameters.

Item Caps

Query shape	Max items	Effective max size	Over-size behavior
No company filter	1000	100	Validation error; not silently capped
Company filter with the Actor preset or another filter	20	20	Silent cap with capping metadata

A company filter means company_name or company_domain. This Actor always applies the internal category=Construction preset, so company-filtered requests use the 20-item cap.

When capping applies, response metadata includes size_requested and size_capped_by="company|keywords". These fields are absent from uncapped responses.

No-company-filter requests are not silently capped. Requests beyond the 1000-item retrieval window can return 400 Item limit reached. Maximum of 1000 items can be retrieved.

Field Validation

Invalid filter values can return 400 Invalid value for parameter: <name>. Common validation examples include malformed company domains, invalid dates or relative posted values, invalid salary format, unsupported location formats, or overly long field values.
