# How Tight Is the Construction Job Market in Florida Right Now, and What Roles Are Hardest to Fill?

Florida is one of the tightest construction labor markets in the country right now. Demand is especially strong in heavy civil, site development, data center, and wastewater work, all sectors where experienced candidates are in short supply. The roles hardest to fill are project managers, superintendents, estimators, and project engineers with proven track records on complex projects. What drives that difficulty is simple: qualified candidates at the mid-to-senior level are already employed and not actively looking. Amundson Group recruits across Florida and has placed candidates in these roles throughout the state.
