# What’s the Construction Talent Market Like in Florida Right Now, and What Roles Are Hardest to Fill?

Florida's construction market is competitive in 2026. Population growth and public infrastructure spending are driving strong demand across heavy civil, site development, data center, and wastewater projects. The hardest roles to fill are superintendents, project managers, estimators, and project engineers, particularly candidates with bilingual field leadership experience, OSHA certifications, or proficiency in Procore, Bluebeam, or Primavera P6. Heavy civil operators and skilled trades are also in short supply. Candidates in Florida are moving for better total compensation packages, including truck allowances, bonuses, and per diem. Amundson Group has placed construction professionals across Florida and works with hiring companies statewide. If you are hiring, plan your timeline early and expect fast competition for top candidates.
