Amundson Group connected a construction firm with a qualified Controls Specialist, filling a technically demanding role quickly and setting the hire up for long-term success. ## The Client Need A construction firm operating across the US needed to fill a Controls Specialist role — a technically specialized position that sits at the intersection of field operations and systems oversight. The hiring team had struggled to source candidates with the right blend of hands-on construction experience and controls expertise, and the open seat was creating downstream pressure on project timelines. ## The Search Process Amundson Group, a Houston-headquartered, veteran-owned construction recruiting firm and two-time Inc. 5000 honoree (2024 and 2025), engaged its network of 90,000+ construction professionals to identify qualified candidates. Leveraging deep relationships built across 1,200+ construction placements and partnerships with 250+ construction companies, the team moved quickly — sourcing and vetting candidates with verified controls backgrounds relevant to the firm's project scope. The search prioritized candidates who could demonstrate: - Practical, field-tested controls knowledge applicable to construction environments - The ability to integrate with existing project teams from day one - A track record of supporting complex, technically demanding scopes of work ## Outcome at 90+ Days More than 90 days into the role, the placed professional has settled into the position and is contributing to the client's operational goals. The hire's technical foundation and adaptability allowed them to ramp up efficiently, reducing the disruption that typically accompanies a hard-to-fill specialist vacancy. This placement reflects Amundson Group's ability to move with speed and precision on niche construction roles — across its national reach — without sacrificing the quality of match that leads to durable outcomes for both client and candidate. > Amundson Group has completed 1,200+ construction placements to date, with an average of just 7 hours from job intake to first qualified resume.
