Project Manager Hired in 29 Days

The Client Need

A construction firm operating in the South was looking to strengthen its project management team. The organization needed a professional who could oversee complex builds, coordinate subcontractors, manage timelines, and keep projects on budget, someone ready to contribute from day one rather than require an extended ramp-up period.

Amundson Group's Search Process

Amundson Group engaged its regional network to identify candidates with demonstrated experience in construction project management. The search focused on professionals who combined technical knowledge of construction processes with strong communication and organizational skills. Key priorities included:

• Proven experience managing multi-phase construction projects
• Ability to navigate subcontractor relationships and site logistics
• Track record of on-time, on-budget project delivery
• Cultural alignment with a team-oriented, client-focused work environment

Amundson Group vetted multiple candidates, presenting only those who met the firm's specific requirements. The process balanced speed with thoroughness to ensure a high-quality match rather than simply filling a seat.

The Outcome at 90+ Days

More than 90 days into the role, the placed professional has settled into the position and is actively contributing to the firm's project portfolio. Early indicators suggest strong alignment between the hire and the organization:

• The placed professional has taken ownership of active project timelines
• Communication with internal teams and subcontractors has been consistent and effective
• The client reports satisfaction with the hire's initiative and professionalism
• The transition period required minimal intervention, reflecting a well-matched placement

Takeaway

This placement reflects Amundson Group's approach to construction staffing in the South, prioritizing fit and readiness over volume. When a firm needs a Project Manager who can perform under pressure and manage complexity, a targeted search yields better long-term results than a broad, reactive one.
