How AG helped staff a $863M bridge project in record time for one of America’s largest contractors.
The Setup
Walsh is a national name in construction. A $5.4B general contractor trusted with some of the country’s most complex infrastructure work.
In 2023, they were awarded the I-275 Howard Frankland Bridge expansion. An $863M joint-venture project connecting Pinellas and Hillsborough counties in Florida.
It was high-profile, high-pressure, and Walsh needed the right team on the ground, fast.
The Problem
To hit early milestones, Walsh needed superintendents and PMs with:
- Deep FDOT experience
- Proven bridge-building expertise over water
- Ability to coordinate across multiple subcontractors in a high-scrutiny environment
Their internal team wasn’t built to recruit this niche, this fast. That’s where AG came in.
The work
We were brought in exclusively and got moving immediately.
- Built a 12-person sourcing team within 24 hours
- Delivered 47 qualified candidates in two weeks
- Ran the entire process: sourcing, vetting, interviews, onboarding
- Worked directly with executive
- Leadership on-site and remotely to align every step
This was talent delivery with technical depth, cultural fit, and zero wasted time.
The Results
In 14 days, AG delivered:
- 13 High-Impact hires – 8 Superintendents, 5 Project Managers.
- On-time execution of early build milestones.
- On-time execution of early build milestones.
- A fully staffed JV team ready to hit the ground running
Why it Worked
- Because we specialize in hard- to-fill, must-fill roles.
- Because we show up when the pressure’s on.
- Because we know how to recruit for infrastructure at scale and speed
Still Building
AG continues to support Walsh across national infrastructure programs, bringing the same precision, speed, and strategic support where it counts most.
