# Is There a Shortage of Construction Talent in Jacksonville Right Now, and What Are Realistic Timelines to Fill PM and Superintendent Roles?

Jacksonville is seeing real talent pressure right now. Qualified project managers and superintendents are in short supply across heavy civil, site development, data center, and wastewater work, and that shortage is not unique to Jacksonville. It reflects a national gap in experienced construction leadership. For PM and superintendent roles, realistic fill timelines depend on how competitive your compensation is, the complexity and size of the project, and how quickly your team moves through interviews. Amundson Group works with construction companies nationwide, including throughout Florida, and our average time from job intake to first qualified resume is 7 hours.
