The site development work we recruit for

  • Mass grading and earthwork: clearing, cut and fill, soil stabilization, retaining walls and the erosion control that goes with a permit.
  • Wet utilities: storm drainage, sanitary sewer, water distribution, lift stations and the detention and retention systems a site plan needs.
  • Dry utilities, paving, curb and gutter, sidewalks and the final grade that turns a tract into lots or pads.
  • Industrial, logistics and data center site packages, where the civil scope is large, fast and tied to a vertical schedule.
  • Master planned communities and public land development programs, from the first model to the last phase, and the roads and utilities that serve them.

Site development is the largest part of Amundson Group’s placement record, because it is where the fastest growing regions of the country, Texas, Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee and Arizona, put most of their construction money. The firm has placed the superintendents, foremen and pipe crew leads who run site work for years, and the pay index reports more site development roles than any other kind. The 90,000+ professional network is deepest in exactly this trade.

The roles we fill on a site job

Superintendents and general superintendents, project managers and project executives, project engineers and assistant project managers, estimators and chief estimators who price grading and utility work, schedulers, safety managers, quality managers, surveyors and survey party chiefs, grade checkers and GPS and machine control specialists, equipment and fleet managers, and the foremen and pipe crew leads who run the crews. Hourly operators, pipelayers and laborers are placed alongside the salaried seats when a client asks for a crew. Every role is construction; Amundson Group does not recruit outside it.

What site development contractors are paying at placement

Amundson Group’s Construction Placement Pay Index reports the base salary its placements were hired at. The October 2026 release puts the national median at $112,500 for a project manager, $112,200 for a superintendent, $93,340 for a project engineer, $87,200 for a foreman, $118,750 for an estimator, $93,600 for a pipe crew lead and $93,750 for a survey party chief. Florida, the firm’s largest site development market after Texas, shows foremen placed over the last twelve months at a median of $81,900 across 15 placements, and over 24 months foremen at $83,200 across 42 and superintendents at $105,000 across 39. 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 that clears the sample bar.

How a site development search runs

  • Intake the same day: the project, the scope, the owner or builder, the pay band and the truck and bonus terms that decide a site hire.
  • First qualified resumes in 7 hours on average, from people with a completed site package behind them, drawn from the firm’s placement record and targeted outreach.
  • A vetted shortlist within 7 days: every candidate interviewed by a recruiter who speaks the trade, grading and utility experience checked against the job rather than the resume, references confirmed.
  • Interviews around the crew’s day, an offer built to close, a check in after the start.

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

What site contractors ask for most

Superintendents who can run three crews and a schedule for a national builder without a project manager on site. Pipe crew leads who can hold grade and keep a crew. Estimators who can take off a civil set in a week and know what dirt costs this year. And bilingual foremen who can run the crews the market actually has. Amundson Group screens for the specific ask before a resume reaches you, and it says plainly when a candidate falls short on one of them.

Questions we hear on this market

Which site development roles are hardest to fill?

Pipe crew leads and the foremen who run utility crews, then superintendents who can run multiple crews for a national builder without a project manager on site. Estimators who know current dirt and pipe pricing are scarce in every growing market.

Do you place hourly site crews or only salaried staff?

Both. Superintendents, project managers and estimators are the core of the firm’s site development placements, and operators, pipelayers and crews are placed alongside them when a client asks for a crew.

What does a site development superintendent earn at placement?

The October 2026 Placement Pay Index puts the national median superintendent placement at $112,200 base, and Florida site superintendents placed over 24 months at a median of $105,000. Truck, per diem and bonus come on top of base.

How quickly can Amundson Group staff a site development project?

First qualified resumes in 7 hours on average and a vetted shortlist within 7 days per role. Site work is the firm’s largest placement record, so the first call usually goes to someone the recruiter already knows.
