APM Hired in 8 Days, First Resume in 1 Hour

The Client Need

A heavy civil construction firm operating in the South had an urgent opening for an Assistant Project Manager. The company was managing an active pipeline of infrastructure work — including earthwork and grading scopes — and needed a candidate who could step in quickly, support senior project leadership, and grow with the organization long-term.

The Search Process

Amundson Group engaged its network of 90,000+ construction professionals to identify candidates with relevant heavy civil backgrounds and the right mix of field awareness and office coordination skills. The team prioritized professionals who had demonstrated the ability to manage submittals, assist with scheduling, and communicate effectively across field and office teams.

Because Amundson Group operates with a focused recruiting process — averaging just 7 hours from job intake to first qualified resume — the client received targeted options without a prolonged search cycle. Candidates were screened not only for technical fit but also for cultural alignment with the client's project-delivery environment.

The Outcome at 90+ Days

The placed professional has been in the role for more than 90 days and has had meaningful time to integrate into the team. Key indicators of a strong early tenure include:

• Established working relationships with field supervision and project management staff
• Contributing to active project documentation, RFI management, and subcontractor coordination
• Demonstrating the capacity to take on expanding responsibilities within the heavy civil scope

This placement reflects Amundson Group's ability to match construction professionals to clients operating in demanding, schedule-driven environments — particularly across the heavy civil sector where technical depth and adaptability are both essential.
