Amundson Group helped a Southwest construction firm fill a critical Project Engineer role. The placed professional has settled in and is delivering results 90+ days later. ## The Client Need A construction firm operating in the Southwest needed to add a Project Engineer to their team. The role required someone who could hit the ground running — managing schedules, coordinating with field crews, and supporting project managers across active job sites. Finding the right technical fit while also matching the firm's culture and pace was the central challenge. ## Amundson Group's Search Process Amundson Group engaged its network to identify candidates with relevant construction project engineering experience in the region. The search focused on professionals who could demonstrate: - Hands-on experience supporting projects from preconstruction through closeout - Strong communication skills for cross-functional coordination - Comfort working in a fast-paced, field-adjacent environment - A track record of reliability and ownership on complex scopes The team worked to present qualified candidates efficiently, vetting for both technical competency and organizational fit before moving finalists forward. ## The Outcome at 90+ Days The placed professional was brought on board and has had time to fully integrate into the role. By the 90-day mark, they had transitioned from onboarding into active contribution — supporting live projects, building relationships with internal teams, and taking on responsibility consistent with the firm's expectations. Key indicators of a successful placement include: - The hire has remained in the role past the critical 90-day window - They are engaged with ongoing project work in the Southwest - The client's need for a reliable, field-ready engineer has been met This placement reflects Amundson Group's ability to identify construction professionals who are ready to contribute from day one and grow with an organization over the long term.
