# Delivering Talent For Virginia’s Largest Infrastructure Project For Flatiron

August 3, 2025

[Success Stories](https://amundsongroup.com/success-stories/)

**How AG supported tunneling, marine, and highway builds on the $3.9B HRBT expansion.**

### The Setup

Flatiron Corporation, through the HRCP joint venture, took on the Hampton Roads Bridge, Tunnel (HRBT) Expansion Project. **At $3.9B, it’s the largest infrastructure job in Virginia’s history**.

With new highway corridors, marine bridge structures, and an immersed-tube tunnel system, **the project demanded a deeply specialized workforce** to execute safely and on time.

### The Problem

Flatiron needed to staff three highly technical segments of the job:

- **Tunneling with TBM operations**
- **Bridge-over-water construction**
- **VDOT-aligned highway delivery**

Internal and external recruiters struggled to consistently source candidates with the depth of experience required. Add to that the complexity of a multi-partner JV approval process, and **the hiring challenge only intensified**.

**That’s when Flatiron brought in Amundson Group.**

### The Work

We coordinated closely with Flatiron’s executive team, JV partners, and field leadership to deliver a targeted hiring strategy:

- Sourced specialists in tunneling, marine works, and VDOT highway projects
- Vetted every candidate for technical expertise and cultural fit
- Managed end-to-end logistics, including JV approvals and onboarding coordination

**This wasn’t just filling roles. It was niche hiring at scale, under pressure.**

### The Results

- **14 hires across** the HRBT project, including:
  - 1 General Superintendent, Highway
  - 1 General Superintendent, Bridge
  - 3 Tunnel Superintendents
  - 4 Superintendents across disciplines
  - 3 Bridge Crew Leaders
  - 2 TBM Foremen

**Delivery metrics**

- Time to submit: **4.5 days**
- Time to interview: **6 days**
- Time to hire (with JV signoff): **10 days**

These hires kept critical scopes on schedule across one of the most complex infrastructure projects in the country.

### Why it worked

- Because we know how to recruit for complexity.
- Because we understood the project’s technical, cultural, and compliance demands.
- Because we embedded ourselves across functions and partners to make hiring frictionless.

### STILL BUILDING

Amundson Group continues to support Flatiron and the HRCP JV as the HRBT Expansion moves into future phases.
