Amundson Group helped a US-based construction firm fill a critical Estimator role. The placed professional has settled in and continues to deliver strong results 90+ days later. ## The Client Need A construction firm operating in the US was facing a gap in their estimating function. Accurate, timely project bids are foundational to a contractor's competitiveness and margin protection, and the team needed a skilled Estimator who could step in and contribute quickly without a lengthy ramp-up period. ## Amundson Group's Search Process The Amundson Group team worked closely with the client to define the scope of the role and the competencies that would matter most, from reading and interpreting construction documents to collaborating with project managers and subcontractors on cost analysis. Key steps in the process included: - **Deep discovery** with the client to understand workflow, project types, and team dynamics - **Targeted outreach** to construction professionals with relevant estimating backgrounds - **Vetting for both technical skill and cultural alignment**, ensuring the candidate could integrate smoothly into the existing team - **Transparent communication** with both client and candidate throughout each stage ## Outcome at 90+ Days More than 90 days after the placement, the hire remains in the role and has made a measurable impact on the estimating function. The transition period has passed, and the placed professional is now a fully integrated contributor, handling bid preparation, cost analysis, and cross-functional coordination with confidence. Key indicators of a successful placement include: - The hire has moved beyond onboarding into full independent productivity - The client has expressed continued satisfaction with the match - The placed professional has demonstrated the technical and interpersonal competencies identified during the search process This placement reflects Amundson Group's approach to construction staffing: understanding the operational realities of the industry and delivering professionals who are ready to contribute from day one, and for the long term.
