A Southern construction firm needed a skilled Project Engineer fast. Amundson Group delivered a qualified hire who has since settled into the role over 90 days later. ## The Client Need A construction firm operating in the South was experiencing a gap in project engineering capacity. With active work in the pipeline and deadlines tightening, the team needed a Project Engineer who could step in quickly, communicate across field and office teams, and contribute from day one — not after a lengthy ramp-up. ## The Search Process Amundson Group engaged the search through its network of 90,000+ construction professionals. Leveraging deep sector knowledge and an average intake-to-resume turnaround of just 7 hours, the team moved swiftly to surface candidates with the right combination of technical foundation and field-facing communication skills. Key criteria the search centered on: - Demonstrated experience supporting project delivery in a fast-paced construction environment - Ability to manage RFIs, submittals, and subcontractor coordination without heavy oversight - Cultural fit with a firm that values accountability and efficiency - Regional familiarity and the ability to start without a long transition period ## The Outcome A well-matched candidate was identified, vetted, and presented to the client. The hire accepted the role and has now been in the position for over 90 days. More than three months into the placement, the hire has: - Integrated into the project team's daily workflow - Taken on meaningful responsibility within the project engineering function - Built rapport with both field personnel and office leadership This engagement reflects what Amundson Group — a Houston-headquartered, veteran-owned, Inc. 5000 honoree — delivers consistently: targeted construction recruiting that connects the right professional to the right role without unnecessary delay. With 1,200+ construction placements and 250+ construction companies served, Amundson Group brings pattern recognition and network depth to every search, including those where the details are straightforward but the stakes are real.
