A heavy civil construction firm in the South needed an experienced Project Superintendent fast. Amundson Group delivered a vetted, qualified hire who has now settled into the role past the 90-day mark.

The Client Need

A heavy civil construction firm operating in the South had an open Project Superintendent seat that needed to be filled without delay. The role demanded a field leader with hands-on experience managing complex civil scopes, coordinating subcontractors, maintaining schedule integrity, and enforcing safety standards across active jobsites. The client needed someone who could step in, earn crew trust quickly, and drive production from day one.

The Search Process

Amundson Group engaged its network of 90,000+ construction professionals to identify candidates with direct heavy civil field leadership experience relevant to the region. The team moved quickly — a hallmark of the firm's process, which averages just 7 hours from job intake to first qualified resume. Candidates were screened not only for technical qualifications but for cultural alignment with the client's operational style and project demands.

A shortlist of vetted candidates was presented to the client, allowing the hiring team to evaluate depth of experience without wading through unqualified submissions. The placed professional rose to the top based on a combination of field credentials, leadership track record, and regional familiarity.

Outcome at 90+ Days

  • Crew leadership established — the hire built rapport with field teams early and maintained it
  • Project continuity — no disruption to schedule or production milestones during the onboarding window
  • Client confidence — the hiring manager's initial expectations have been met through consistent on-site performance
  • Role stability — the placed professional continues to operate as a core member of the project leadership team
