# We’re Hiring Heavy Civil Supervisors and Estimators in Tennessee. Are There Actually Qualified Candidates Available, and What Should We Budget for Salaries?

Tennessee's heavy civil market is active and candidate supply is tight. Qualified superintendents and estimators exist in our network, but competition for them is real, particularly for highway, bridge, earthwork, and wastewater projects. What moves pay for these roles is project size and complexity, sector specialization, years of experience, relevant certifications, and whether travel is required. Estimators with heavy civil preconstruction experience and superintendents who can run large earthwork or bridge scopes command a premium in supply-constrained markets like Nashville. Amundson Group recruits heavy civil talent across Tennessee and can move from job intake to a first qualified resume in an average of 7 hours. For current pay ranges by role, see our Construction Placement Pay Index at [https://amundsongroup.com/construction-pay-index/](https://amundsongroup.com/construction-pay-index/)
