What a construction superintendent recruiter does in Florida
A construction superintendent recruiter in Florida finds, vets and delivers field leaders who can run a jobsite from mobilization to closeout. In practice, that means someone who understands the difference between a superintendent who has poured bridge decks on a state DOT project and one who has managed mass grading and utility installation on a 400-acre site development, and who knows which of those two profiles a contractor actually needs before the first resume goes out.
Amundson Group is a Houston-headquartered, veteran-owned construction recruiting firm and an Inc. 5000 honoree in 2024 and 2025. We recruit and place construction superintendents across Florida and nationwide, with deep experience in Florida alongside Texas, Georgia, the Carolinas, Nashville, Phoenix, Denver and the Virginia corridor. Our work is limited to heavy civil, site development and land development, data center, rail, tunnels and wastewater. We do not place commercial construction roles and we do not work energy or oil and gas.
Why Florida superintendent searches are harder than they look
Florida is one of the most active construction markets in the country, and that activity is spread across very different metros. South Florida, Central Florida and the Gulf Coast each carry their own labor shortage pressure, and a superintendent who is happy commuting across Tampa Bay is rarely willing to relocate to Miami-Dade for a lateral move. Sector specialization matters just as much. A contractor building a wastewater treatment plant in Orlando needs a superintendent who has lived through startup and commissioning, not a residential shell super who happens to be available.
Timing is the other pressure point. Florida recruiters report that superintendent and project manager hires typically take two to four weeks when the role is well-defined and the candidate pipeline is already warm. When the pipeline is cold, that window stretches, and every week without a superintendent on site is a week of schedule risk on a project that already has weather in its critical path.
How Amundson Group recruits Florida superintendents
Our process is built around speed to the first qualified candidate, not volume of resumes. Here is what a Florida superintendent search looks like with us:
- Intake. We take a detailed brief on the project type, contract value, self-perform scope, crew size, reporting structure, travel expectations and the specific Florida market where the work sits.
- Network search. We work a network of 90,000+ construction professionals, most of whom are not actively applying anywhere. Our recruiters already know the heavy civil, site development, data center, rail, tunnel and wastewater superintendents working across Florida and the Southeast.
- Vetting. Every superintendent we present is screened on project history, safety record ownership, schedule and subcontractor management, and the practical question of whether they will actually show up to a jobsite in Jacksonville, Fort Myers or Palm Beach County on Monday.
- Delivery. Our average is 7 hours from job intake to first qualified resume, and we keep the process moving through interviews, offer and start date.
To date, Amundson Group has made 1,200+ construction placements for 250+ construction companies. If you have a Florida superintendent seat open, you can start a search at amundsongroup.com/hire-talent.
What Florida contractors should expect on superintendent pay
We do not publish salary ranges on this page because superintendent compensation in Florida varies too much by sector, project scale and metro to summarize responsibly in a paragraph. What we can say is that our construction 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 including BLS, AGC, ENR and industry surveys. It is the market as we actually see it, not scraped job-board averages. Current superintendent ranges by sector and market are in our construction salary guide.

Frequently asked questions
Does Amundson Group recruit construction superintendents in Florida?
Yes. Amundson Group is a national construction recruiting firm headquartered in Houston, Texas, with deep experience recruiting in Florida alongside Texas, Georgia, the Carolinas and other core markets. We recruit and place superintendents for Florida contractors in heavy civil, site development and land development, data center, rail, tunnels and wastewater.

Our network includes 90,000+ construction professionals, and to date we have made 1,200+ construction placements for 250+ construction companies.
How fast can a recruiter fill a superintendent role in Florida?
Florida recruiters report that superintendent and project manager hires typically take two to four weeks when the role is clearly defined and the candidate pipeline is already warm. Amundson Group averages 7 hours from job intake to first qualified resume, which compresses the front end of that timeline. The remaining time is usually driven by the contractor’s interview availability, the candidate’s notice period, and whether relocation within Florida is involved. Roles in the Gulf Coast, Central Florida and South Florida markets each carry their own labor shortage pressure, so a well-defined intake matters.
What does a Florida construction superintendent earn in 2026?
Superintendent pay in Florida varies significantly by sector, project scale and metro, so we do not publish a single range on this page. Our construction 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 such as BLS, AGC, ENR and industry surveys. It reflects the market as we actually see it rather than scraped job-board averages. For current superintendent ranges by sector and market, see the Amundson Group construction salary guide at amundsongroup.com/salary-guide.
What sectors does Amundson Group recruit superintendents for in Florida?
Amundson Group recruits Florida superintendents exclusively in heavy civil work such as highways, bridges, earthwork and grading; site development and land development including utilities and paving; data center construction; rail; tunnels; and wastewater. We do not recruit for commercial construction, including office, retail, hospitality and tenant build-out, and we do not work in energy or oil and gas. Focusing on these infrastructure-driven sectors lets our recruiters maintain a deep, current network of superintendents who have actually run the type of project a Florida contractor needs staffed.
