Project Manager Placed in the South

The Client's Challenge

A construction firm operating in the South had an open Project Manager seat that was slowing project momentum. Their internal recruiting efforts had stalled, and leadership needed a candidate who could step in with minimal ramp time and manage active work in the field without constant oversight.

How Amundson Group Approached the Search

Leveraging a network of 90,000+ construction professionals and a recruiting process built specifically for the construction industry, the Amundson Group team moved quickly. True to form, qualified resume submissions went to the client within hours of job intake — not days.

The search focused on candidates who brought:

• Demonstrated field experience managing projects from preconstruction through closeout
• A track record of keeping schedules and budgets aligned under real-world site conditions
• The interpersonal and organizational skills to coordinate subcontractors, owners, and internal teams simultaneously

Because Amundson Group works exclusively in construction — not commercial build-out, not energy — the candidate pool was already scoped to professionals with directly relevant backgrounds.

Placement and Early Performance

The firm extended an offer, and the placed professional transitioned into the role. Now more than 90 days in, they have had ample time to move past onboarding and into the rhythm of the job.

Early indicators from the client reflect what the Amundson Group team looks for in a successful placement:

• The hire is managing project workflows with confidence and ownership
• Communication between the hire, ownership, and field crews is functioning well
• The client has not had to re-engage outside recruiting support for this seat

Why It Matters

A Project Manager vacancy in the South is not a minor gap — it affects schedules, subcontractor relationships, and client confidence. Speed and precision in the search process directly protected the firm's ability to deliver. That is the practical value Amundson Group brings to 250+ construction companies served across its national footprint.
