Amundson Group is a retained construction recruiter focused on senior field and office leadership roles, Project Managers, Estimators, Superintendents, and Project Engineers across commercial, civil, multifamily, industrial, and energy sectors. We specialize in placements that match project scope, safety leadership, and management depth rather than entry-level positions.
Our 2026 market data shows superintendent base salaries ranging from $130K, $180K in San Francisco and $150K, $207K in San Diego, with total compensation often climbing to $160K, $269K+ once bonus, truck allowance, and per diem are factored in. Experience and project responsibility matter significantly, a superintendent with 15+ years managing $50M+ projects will sit at the top of that range, while a 3-5 year professional typically lands $128K, $158K base.
We weight union affiliation, safety certifications, BIM coordination, and schedule management heavily in placement decisions. If you're a proven senior leader in construction, we're built to find the right fit.
