What Orlando construction hires are paying at placement

Central Florida offers follow the Florida figures in Amundson Group’s Construction Placement Pay Index, which is built from the firm’s own placements rather than survey answers. The October 2026 release shows estimators placed in Florida over the last twelve months at a median of $122,500 across 8 placements, above the national estimator median of $118,750, foremen at $81,900 across 15 and pipe crew leads at $93,600 across 8. Over 24 months, where smaller cuts can be read, Florida project managers were placed at a median of $117,500 across 18 placements, superintendents at $105,000 across 39, foremen at $83,200 across 42, estimators at $95,000 across 14 and project engineers at $85,000 across 10. The national October medians are $112,500 for a project manager, $112,200 for a superintendent and $87,200 for a foreman. Orlando site and utility offers sit close to the state figures; the airport and toll road programs pay toward the top of them. Base only, before truck, per diem and bonus; the two windows overlap and are not comparable to each other. The live index carries every cut.

The Orlando work we recruit for

  • Site development: mass grading, wet and dry utilities, lift stations and paving for the master planned communities and industrial parks spreading through Orange, Osceola, Lake, Polk and Seminole counties.
  • Heavy civil: Florida Department of Transportation and toll authority interchange, widening and bridge programs, the airport’s civil work and the drainage a flat, wet metro never stops building.
  • Water and wastewater: treatment plant expansions, reclaimed water systems, pump stations and the pipelines that follow the rooftops.
  • Airport and toll road civil packages, where the schedule is public and the owner’s standards are not negotiable.
  • Rail, transit and underground utility work: intercity passenger rail and commuter rail construction, and trenchless utility installation under a metro built on sand and water.

Amundson Group is headquartered in Houston and has no Orlando office; what it has is a Florida placement record that runs from Jacksonville to Miami, with Central Florida in the middle of it, and a network of field leaders who answer when a recruiter they know calls. The Florida, Tampa and Jacksonville pages cover the rest of the state.

How an Orlando search runs

  • Intake the same day: the work, the pay band, the reporting line, the reason the seat is open.
  • First qualified resumes in 7 hours on average, from Central Florida professionals the team already knows plus targeted outreach into the 90,000+ network.
  • A vetted shortlist within 7 days, every candidate interviewed by a recruiter who speaks the trade, references and licenses checked, pay expectations confirmed against the index so no offer is wasted.
  • Interviews, offer, start, and a check in after the first weeks on site.

Fees are agreed before the search starts and are owed only when you hire.

What Orlando contractors ask for most

Pipe crews and the leads who run them, because Central Florida site work is won or lost underground and in the water table. Superintendents who have built through a hurricane season and know what it does to a schedule. Estimators who can price site packages for national builders and a county job in the same week. And bilingual foremen and superintendents who can run the crews the metro actually has. Amundson Group screens for the specific ask before a resume reaches you.

Questions we hear on this market

How fast can Amundson Group send candidates for an Orlando role?

First qualified resumes in 7 hours on average and a vetted shortlist within 7 days. Florida foremen, superintendents and estimators are the roles the firm has placed most, so the first call usually goes to someone the recruiter already knows.

What are Orlando construction superintendents being hired at?

Central Florida offers follow the Florida figures: the October 2026 index puts Florida superintendents placed over 24 months at a median of $105,000 base across 39 placements, against a national median of $112,200. Site and utility work sits near the state figure; airport and toll road work pays toward the top.

Does Amundson Group have an Orlando office?

No. The firm’s only office is its Houston headquarters. Orlando searches are run from there by recruiters who work Florida daily, and the results are measured the same way: 7 hours to the first qualified resumes.

Do you place hourly crews in Orlando as well as salaried roles?

Yes. Pipe crews, operators and foremen are placed alongside the superintendents and project managers when a client asks for a crew, and the pay index reports Florida foreman and pipe crew lead placements by name.
