What a construction superintendent recruiter in Florida actually does

A construction superintendent recruiter in Florida finds, vets and delivers field leaders who can run heavy civil, site development, data center, rail, tunnel and wastewater projects across the state. Amundson Group is a Houston-headquartered, veteran-owned construction recruiting firm, an Inc. 5000 honoree in 2024 and 2025, and Florida is one of the markets where our roots run deepest. Houston, Texas is our only office, and we recruit and place superintendents in Florida and nationwide from there.

Amundson Group does not place commercial, energy or oil and gas roles. Our work is infrastructure and industrial construction: highways, bridges, earthwork and grading, utilities and paving, data centers, rail, tunnels and wastewater. That focus is why Florida contractors in those sectors call us when a superintendent seat opens.

The Florida superintendent market in 2026

Florida is still a tight market for salaried field leadership. Per the 2026 AGC/NCCER workforce survey, 82% of construction firms reported unfilled salaried roles, and superintendent is consistently one of the hardest seats to fill. Statewide, construction employment reached 658,400 in August 2026 per state labor data, a modest year-over-year gain even as some regions cooled slightly. The headline for hiring managers: the superintendent bench did not get deeper just because the market got a little softer.

Demand is broadest in Tampa Bay, where 2026 hiring is strongest in heavy civil, FDOT highway work, superintendent and project management seats, estimating and airport and infrastructure projects. Postings in the Tampa area run the full ladder, from assistant superintendent and field supervisor through project engineer, scheduler and project manager, which tells us employers are hiring for both execution today and bench depth tomorrow. We see the same pattern across Orlando, Jacksonville, South Florida and the I-4 and I-75 corridors.

How Amundson Group recruits Florida superintendents

Our process is built for speed without shortcuts. Here is what a Florida search looks like from intake to offer:

• Intake call. We define the project type, scope, crew size, self-perform versus subcontracted work, schedule pressure and the specific experience a superintendent needs, such as FDOT specifications, MOT, dewatering, or large-diameter utility installs.
• Network search. We go straight to our network of 90,000+ construction professionals, many of whom are passive and will only move for the right project and the right company.
• First qualified resume in an average of 7 hours. From job intake to the first screened, qualified candidate, our average is 7 hours. That is the number that matters when a job is already staffed thin.
• Field-level vetting. We verify project history, production responsibility, safety record, schedule performance and references from people who actually worked the job.
• Offer and close. We manage compensation expectations, relocation when needed and counteroffers so the hire actually starts.

To date, Amundson Group has made 1,200+ construction placements and served 250+ construction companies. In Florida that includes superintendents on highway and bridge packages, site development and utility programs, wastewater plants, rail work and data center campuses.

What Florida superintendents are paid

We do not publish dollar figures on this page, because superintendent compensation in Florida varies by sector, project size, region and whether the role is traveling or local. Our construction salary data is drawn straight from where the hiring happens, our recruiting desks, across a network of 90,000+ construction professionals, and cross-checked against authoritative sources (BLS, AGC, ENR and industry surveys). It is the market as we actually see it, not scraped job-board averages. For current ranges, see the Amundson Group salary guide.

What makes a Florida superintendent placement stick

Florida has its own field realities: hurricane season scheduling, high water tables, FDOT inspection culture, and a labor pool that stretches thin when multiple mega-projects break ground at once. The superintendents who succeed here have run work under those conditions before. When we present a candidate for a Florida seat, we are matching project type to project type, not just title to title.

For candidates, the same discipline applies. If you are a superintendent in heavy civil, site development, data center, rail, tunnel or wastewater work and want to see what Florida contractors are offering in 2026, reach out. We will tell you what we see from the desk, including the roles we would not put you in.
