A heavy-civil construction firm needed an experienced Grading Superintendent. Amundson Group delivered a qualified hire who has since settled into the role at 90-plus days. ## The Client's Challenge A heavy-civil construction firm operating in the Sun Belt region needed to fill a critical Grading Superintendent position. Projects involving earthwork and grading demand precise field leadership, and an open seat at the superintendent level creates real schedule and budget risk. The firm needed a proven operator — someone who could step in, take ownership of the grade, and keep crews and subcontractors aligned from day one. ## Amundson Group's Search Process Amundson Group applied its focused heavy-civil recruiting process to identify candidates with verified grading and earthwork experience. Drawing on a network of 90,000+ construction professionals, the team moved quickly to surface qualified profiles relevant to the client's scope and culture. Key steps in the process included: - Scoping the role with the client to define technical requirements, project type, and team fit expectations - Screening candidates against hands-on grading superintendent experience, including mass earthwork, cut-and-fill operations, and crew management - Presenting only vetted, qualified candidates — consistent with the firm's average of 7 hours from job intake to first qualified resume - Facilitating interviews and supporting both parties through offer and acceptance ## Outcome at 90-Plus Days The placed professional has been in the role for over 90 days and has settled into the position. By this stage, they have had the opportunity to establish working relationships with the field crew, demonstrate their grading expertise on live project work, and integrate into the company's operational rhythm. For the client, the placement resolved an urgent leadership gap on a production-sensitive scope of work. For the placed professional, the role represented a well-matched opportunity aligned with their heavy-civil background. This placement reflects Amundson Group's ability to move with speed and precision in the heavy-civil sector — one of the core construction markets the firm has served across 1,200+ placements and 250+ construction companies.
