Construction Foreman Recruiters
Specialist recruiters placing construction foremen, general foremen, and crew leaders for heavy civil, site development, and paving contractors across Texas, Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas.
Most recruiting firms treat foremen as an afterthought — something they’ll “look into” after the PMs and Superintendents are filled. At Amundson Group, foreman recruiting is a full-time specialty. We have a dedicated Sun Belt foreman desk that spends every day on the phone and on jobsites with the crew leaders your projects actually depend on.
Foremen are where project schedules live or die. The right foreman can run a crew that delivers on budget and on time; the wrong one can cost you weeks on a single phase. That’s why we treat foreman recruiting the same way we treat executive search — specialist recruiters, a deep bench of pre-qualified candidates, and a process that moves faster than your competition.

Construction foreman recruiting FAQ
What does a construction foreman do?
A foreman runs a specific crew on a construction project, directing daily work, managing safety, coordinating with superintendents, and making on-the-spot decisions that keep the crew productive. General foremen oversee multiple crews or phases.
How much do construction foremen make in Texas?
General foreman salaries in Texas typically range from $95K to $140K with bonus opportunity, varying by sector and market.
What should employers look for when hiring a foreman?
Three things: (1) technical depth in the specific scope of work they’ll run, (2) a track record of retaining their crew, and (3) communication skills that work both upward to superintendents and downward to the crew. Pure technical skill without leadership doesn’t hold up on a multi-phase project.
How long does it take Amundson Group to fill a foreman role?
Our Sun Belt foreman desk typically produces the first qualified candidate in under 24 hours for active markets, and we complete most foreman placements in 2-4 weeks depending on candidate availability.
Do you place union and non-union foremen?
Yes — both. Our team covers both open-shop and union projects across the Sun Belt.
Which states do you cover for foreman placements?
Texas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Arizona, and Colorado as primary markets. We also place in adjacent states when projects call for it.
