Construction recruiters for Maryland’s heavy civil, data center, rail, tunnel, and wastewater work

Amundson Group is a national construction recruiting firm headquartered in Houston, Texas. We recruit and place construction professionals in Maryland, from the Baltimore-Washington corridor and Frederick County out to the Eastern Shore and Western Maryland. Our work is limited to the infrastructure side of the industry: heavy civil (highways, bridges, earthwork, grading), site development and land development (utilities, paving), data center construction, rail, tunnels, and wastewater. We do not place commercial building roles such as office, retail, hospitality, or tenant build-out, and we do not work energy or oil and gas.

We are veteran-owned, an Inc. 5000 honoree in 2024 and 2025, and we have completed 1,200+ construction placements to date across a network of 90,000+ construction professionals, serving 250+ construction companies. Our average time from job intake to first qualified resume is 7 hours.

Why Maryland construction hiring is hard in 2026

Maryland sits inside one of the tightest construction labor pools in the country. The state shares a workforce with the Virginia corridor, where we have some of our deepest roots, and every Maryland contractor is bidding for the same superintendents and project managers that Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C. general contractors want. Data center construction in the region has pulled electrical, civil, and project leadership talent away from other project types, and heavy civil and transit work keeps adding demand on top of that.

The national picture explains the local pressure. Per AGC and NCCER’s 2026 workforce survey, 87% of construction firms had openings for hourly craft workers and 82% had salaried openings, and among firms with openings, 88% said craft roles were as hard or harder to fill than a year earlier. ABC estimates the industry needs 349,000 net new workers in 2026 just to balance supply and demand. A Maryland contractor posting a superintendent job and waiting for applicants is competing in that market, not around it.

The roles we recruit in Maryland

• Superintendents and general superintendents for highway, bridge, site, and data center projects
• Project managers and senior project managers
• Project engineers and field engineers
• Estimators and preconstruction leads for heavy civil and utility work
• Schedulers
• Foremen and skilled trades on civil, utility, and rail scopes
• Construction executives: operations managers, area managers, division leaders

How our Maryland search process works

Every search starts with a scoping call to define the project type, the scope of work the hire will own, reporting structure, compensation range, and what a realistic candidate looks like in the Maryland market. Because we recruit exclusively in infrastructure sectors, our recruiters already know the difference between a superintendent who has run a bridge deck replacement and one who has only managed vertical work, and we screen for that before you ever see a resume.

• Intake and market calibration, including a candid read on whether the pay range will draw the talent you want
• Direct outreach into our 90,000+ professional network plus targeted sourcing of Maryland and Mid-Atlantic candidates
• Recruiter screening on project history, self-perform experience, safety record, and willingness to relocate or commute
• First qualified resume delivered in an average of 7 hours from intake
• Interview coordination, offer strategy, and counteroffer management through start date

What Maryland construction professionals should expect from us

If you are a superintendent, project manager, estimator, or trades professional in Maryland, working with a recruiter should never mean getting your resume blasted to every contractor in the state. We present you only to companies you have agreed to, we tell you what the project and the culture actually look like, and we give you a straight read on compensation. Our salary data is drawn straight from where the hiring happens, our recruiting desks, across a network of 90,000+ construction professionals, and cross-checked against authoritative sources (BLS, AGC, ENR and industry surveys). It is the market as we actually see it, not scraped job-board averages. You can review current ranges by role in our construction salary guide.

How to choose a construction recruiter in Maryland

Ask any recruiter you consider three things. First, which sectors do they actually specialize in, and can they name recent placements in yours. A generalist staffing agency that fills warehouse and office roles will struggle to evaluate a heavy civil estimator. Second, how fast do they deliver a first qualified candidate, and what does “qualified” mean in their process. Third, how do they handle counteroffers, since candidate-short markets like Maryland make retention through the offer stage the hardest part of the search. If you are hiring for a Maryland infrastructure project now, you can start a search with Amundson Group and speak with a recruiter who works your sector every day.

Frequently asked questions

Does Amundson Group recruit construction professionals in Maryland?

Yes. Amundson Group is a national construction recruiting firm headquartered in Houston, Texas, and we recruit and place construction professionals in Maryland and throughout the Mid-Atlantic. Our focus is infrastructure work: heavy civil (highways, bridges, earthwork, grading), site development and utilities, data center construction, rail, tunnels, and wastewater. We do not place commercial building roles such as office, retail, hospitality, or tenant build-out, and we do not work in energy or oil and gas. Maryland shares a labor market with the Virginia corridor, where we have deep experience, so our network already includes candidates who live and work across the region.

What construction roles does Amundson Group fill in Maryland?

We recruit superintendents, project managers, project engineers, estimators, schedulers, foremen, skilled trades, and construction executives for Maryland contractors working in heavy civil, site development, data center, rail, tunnel, and wastewater construction. That includes field leadership for highway and bridge projects, preconstruction and estimating talent for utility and site work, and operations and division leaders for growing infrastructure firms. Every candidate is screened by a recruiter who works these sectors exclusively, so project history, self-perform experience, and safety record are evaluated before you see a resume.

How quickly can a Maryland contractor expect to see candidates?

Our average time from job intake to first qualified resume is 7 hours. That speed comes from a network of 90,000+ construction professionals built over 1,200+ placements to date and 250+ construction companies served, so we are usually reaching out to known candidates rather than starting from zero. The search begins with a scoping call to define project type, scope, reporting structure, and compensation. From there we source, screen, and present candidates, then manage interviews, offers, and counteroffers through the start date. In a market where, per AGC and NCCER’s 2026 survey, 88% of firms with craft openings say those roles are harder to fill than a year ago, speed matters.

Where can I find Maryland construction salary data?

Amundson Group publishes construction compensation ranges by role in our salary guide at amundsongroup.com/salary-guide. Our salary data is drawn straight from where the hiring happens, our recruiting desks, across a network of 90,000+ construction professionals, and cross-checked against authoritative sources (BLS, AGC, ENR and industry surveys).
