Amundson Group is a national construction recruiting firm that recruits and places data center construction professionals for projects in Oklahoma. We are headquartered in Houston, Texas, veteran-owned, and an Inc. 5000 honoree in both 2024 and 2025. Houston is our only office, and we serve Oklahoma clients and candidates from it, the same way we serve clients nationwide. Our recruiting is built around a short list of sectors: data center, heavy civil, site development, rail, tunnels and wastewater. That focus matters in a mission-critical build, where a hiring manager needs a recruiter who already knows the difference between a general superintendent and an MEP superintendent before the first call. Amundson Group does not place commercial, energy or oil and gas roles. ## Why Oklahoma is a 2026 data center market Oklahoma has become an emerging data center construction market in 2026 for three practical reasons: available land, available power, and a short drive to Dallas-Fort Worth, one of the deepest data center labor pools in the country. For contractors, that proximity cuts both ways. It makes Oklahoma attractive to owners, and it means every superintendent and project manager you want to hire is also being courted by Texas projects. Data centers carry the strongest 2026 construction outlook in the country, with a net demand score of +57 per AGC’s 2026 outlook, and Oklahoma is one of the states where that demand is now landing. The labor side is just as pointed. Per ABC’s 2026 forecast, construction needs 349,000 net new workers in 2026 and 456,000 in 2027 to balance supply and demand. In a sector where owners expect aggressive schedules, that gap is what turns a data center hire from a job posting into a search. ## Data center roles we fill in Oklahoma The roles Oklahoma data center contractors ask us for most often in 2026 are the ones that carry schedule risk: - General superintendents and MEP superintendents - Electrical and mechanical project managers - Project engineers and estimators with mission-critical experience - Schedulers and VDC/BIM managers - Foremen and skilled trades for electrical, mechanical and site packages - Construction executives leading data center programs or regions We also staff the civil side of these campuses, including site development, grading, utilities and paving, because a data center that is behind on sitework is behind on everything that follows. ## How a data center search with Amundson Group works Our process is built for speed without guessing. It starts with a job intake call where we learn the project, the schedule, the chain of command and what a candidate actually has to have done before, not just the title on the job description. From there, we average 7 hours from job intake to first qualified resume. That pace is possible because we are not starting from a blank page; we recruit from a network of 90,000+ construction professionals built across 1,200+ construction placements and 250+ construction companies served. For Oklahoma searches, we lean on our deepest roots, which are in Texas, including Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Austin and San Antonio. Many of the candidates best suited to an Oklahoma data center role are already working on, or have recently finished, a Texas data center, and we know how to reach them and how to frame a move north. Every candidate we present has been screened by a recruiter who works construction full time, so the hiring manager spends interview time on fit, not on verifying basics. ## What to expect on compensation Compensation is the first question in nearly every Oklahoma data center search, and the honest answer is that mission-critical experience commands a premium over general building work, and candidates coming from Dallas-Fort Worth will benchmark against Texas pay. 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 (BLS, AGC, ENR and industry surveys). It is the market as we actually see it, not scraped job-board averages.

Yes. Amundson Group is a national construction recruiting firm headquartered in Houston, Texas, and we recruit and place data center construction professionals for Oklahoma projects. Houston is our only office, and we serve Oklahoma clients from it. Our sectors are data center, heavy civil, site development, rail, tunnels and wastewater, so every recruiter on a search already understands mission-critical and civil work. Amundson Group does not place commercial, energy or oil and gas roles. For Oklahoma, we draw heavily on candidates with Texas data center experience, especially in Dallas-Fort Worth, who are the most natural fit for a move north. ### What data center roles are hardest to fill in Oklahoma in 2026? The roles tied most tightly to schedule are the hardest: general and MEP superintendents, electrical and mechanical project managers, project engineers and estimators with mission-critical backgrounds, and schedulers and VDC/BIM managers. Skilled electrical and mechanical trades and foremen are also in short supply. The pressure is national. Per ABC’s 2026 forecast, construction needs 349,000 net new workers in 2026 and 456,000 in 2027 to balance supply and demand, and per AGC’s 2026 outlook, data centers hold the strongest net demand score of any sector at +57. Oklahoma contractors are competing with Texas projects for the same people. ### How fast can Amundson Group deliver data center candidates for an Oklahoma project? We average 7 hours from job intake to first qualified resume. That speed comes from recruiting out of an existing network of 90,000+ construction professionals rather than starting a search from scratch, and from an intake process that pins down exactly what a candidate must have built before. Across 1,200+ construction placements and 250+ construction companies served, we have learned that the first few resumes set the tone for the whole search, so each one is screened by a recruiter who works construction full time before it reaches the hiring manager. ### What should an Oklahoma data center contractor expect to pay for a superintendent or project manager? Mission-critical experience commands a premium over general building work, and candidates coming from Dallas-Fort Worth will compare any Oklahoma offer against Texas data center pay, so expect to compete on compensation as well as project quality.
