The handoff gives us 15 hours of active coverage every weekday, which means more screened candidates per role than US-only competitors, and a response to Texas hiring managers before the day is lost. We’re built specifically for Gulf Coast, Sun Belt, and Southeast construction, not a generic white-collar agency that also dabbles in trades. ## Ready to hire your next foreman, superintendent, estimator, or project manager, or explore your next construction role?

The team is split by sector and territory. Every search is run by a specialist who places that role in that market weekly. Each placement is owned by a named recruiter from intake through the 90 day post placement check in. The org chart on this page shows exactly who runs which sector and which Sun Belt territory. ### Where is the Amundson Group team based? Daily operations run from our Houston headquarters at 1336 Brittmoore Road. Our South Africa office handles overnight sourcing, candidate pipeline research, and operational support. The combination gives our hiring manager clients about 15 hours of active coverage every weekday. ### Who leads each construction sector at Amundson Group? Leadership runs through Alex Mowbray as Founder and Executive Chairman, Hannah Chancellor as CEO, and Martin Larkin as COO. Sector and territory leads are listed by name on this page alongside their LinkedIn profiles and direct contact information. The intent is full accountability. Every hire that lands with a client has a named person who owns it. ### How big is the Amundson Group team in 2026? The team is currently 27 people across Houston and South Africa, including 15 specialist headhunters by role and territory, plus operations, account management, and finance functions. The team has grown materially over the last two years as Sun Belt construction hiring has tightened. ### How are searches assigned within the team? A search is assigned to the recruiter whose specialty matches the role and whose territory matches the project location. For example a Houston heavy civil PM search routes to the Houston heavy civil recruiter, not a generalist. The match is what lets us return a qualified shortlist inside 7 days. ## Related reading - [About Amundson Group](https://amundsongroup.com/about/) - [Hire talent](https://amundsongroup.com/hire-talent/) - [The 2026 Construction Compensation Report preview](https://amundsongroup.com/compensation-report-preview/) - [Best construction recruiters in 2026](https://amundsongroup.com/best-construction-recruiters-2026-how-to-choose/) --- About Amundson Group: a Houston-headquartered construction recruiting firm placing superintendents, project managers, estimators, foremen and skilled trades with contractors across the United States in heavy civil, site development, paving, data center, rail, tunnels, wastewater and underground utilities. 1,200+ construction placements to date, a network of 90,000+ construction professionals, 250+ companies served, the first qualified resume in about 7 hours and a shortlist in 7 days.
