Amundson Group connected a heavy civil construction firm in the South with a Jr Estimator who has since become a contributing member of the estimating team.

The Client Need

A heavy civil construction firm operating in the South needed to grow its estimating department. The team was managing an increasing volume of bids across highway, earthwork, and grading projects and required a junior-level estimator who could learn quickly, support senior staff, and develop into a long-term asset for the business.

The Search Process

Amundson Group — a veteran-owned, Houston-headquartered construction recruiting firm and Inc. 5000 honoree — drew on its network of 90,000+ construction professionals to identify candidates with foundational estimating skills and a genuine interest in heavy civil work. The firm's process moved quickly, delivering qualified candidates in a timeframe consistent with its average of 7 hours from job intake to first qualified resume.

Screening focused on:

  • Familiarity with takeoff processes and estimating software
  • Interest in heavy civil project types (earthwork, grading, site infrastructure)
  • Cultural alignment with a team-oriented, field-connected estimating environment
  • Long-term career trajectory within the firm

The Outcome at 90+ Days

More than 90 days after the placement, the hired professional remains in the role and has integrated smoothly into the estimating department. They are actively participating in bid preparation, supporting senior estimators, and building the sector-specific knowledge that defines a strong heavy civil career path.

The client has reported satisfaction with the match, reflecting the kind of alignment Amundson Group consistently pursues — placements built to last, not just to fill a seat.
