A Midwest construction firm needed an experienced Heavy Highway Project Manager. Amundson Group delivered a qualified placement who remains active and thriving in the role 90+ days later. ## The Client Need A construction firm operating in the Midwest was seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead heavy highway work across an active project portfolio. The role demanded someone who could step in with minimal ramp-up time, manage complex infrastructure scopes, and coordinate across field crews, subcontractors, and owners simultaneously. ## The Search Process Amundson Group engaged its construction-focused network to identify candidates with direct heavy highway experience and a verifiable track record of delivering projects on time and within budget. The search prioritized professionals who had: - Hands-on experience managing DOT or similar heavy civil/highway projects - Strong communication skills suited to both field and executive stakeholders - A stable employment history with demonstrated career progression - The ability to relocate or commute within the Midwest region The Amundson Group team vetted candidates carefully, narrowing the pool to those who met both the technical requirements and the cultural expectations of the hiring firm. ## The Outcome at 90+ Days The placed professional has now been in the role for over 90 days and is fully integrated into the organization. Early indicators suggest a strong fit on multiple fronts: - The hire is managing active project scopes with growing autonomy - Communication between the placed professional and the client team has been consistently positive - The hire has demonstrated the leadership presence the firm was looking for when the search began This placement reflects Amundson Group's approach to construction recruiting: understanding what a firm truly needs, not just what the job description says, and matching that to professionals who are ready to perform from day one. ## Why It Matters Heavy highway talent is competitive across the Midwest. Firms that move decisively with a trusted recruiting partner are better positioned to land experienced professionals before the market does.
