Amundson Group connected a regional construction firm in the South with a skilled Assistant Project Manager for a spec role, resulting in a strong long-term fit.

## The Client Need

A construction firm operating in the South needed to add an Assistant Project Manager to support growing project volume. The role demanded someone capable of hitting the ground running on spec work — coordinating schedules, supporting project documentation, and interfacing with field teams without extensive ramp-up time.

## Amundson Group's Search Process

Leveraging a network of 90,000+ construction professionals, Amundson Group — a Houston-headquartered, veteran-owned recruiting firm and Inc. 5000 honoree — moved quickly to source qualified candidates. The team drew on deep Sun Belt relationships to identify professionals with directly relevant experience in fast-paced construction environments.

Key search priorities included:

- Demonstrated experience supporting project managers on active builds
- Familiarity with spec-driven project workflows
- Strong communication skills for cross-functional coordination
- Readiness to contribute from day one with minimal onboarding friction

## The Outcome at 90+ Days

More than 90 days into the role, the placed professional has integrated fully into the client's project team. They have taken on meaningful responsibility within the workflow, supporting project delivery and helping the team maintain schedule and documentation standards. The client reports the hire has met expectations and demonstrated the kind of ownership the role required.

The placed professional has expressed satisfaction with the opportunity, noting that the role aligned closely with where they wanted to take their career in construction management.

## Why It Worked

- Amundson Group's Sun Belt focus meant genuine familiarity with the regional construction market
- Speed of search ensured the client didn't lose momentum on active projects
- Vetting process prioritized cultural fit alongside technical qualifications
- Clear communication between all parties set realistic expectations from the start
