About the job

Senior Project Engineer / Project Manager

Amundson Group is recruiting a Senior Project Engineer / Project Manager for a self-performing contractor ramping up a multi-year paving operation in Eastern Orange County, Florida. This is a direct-hire, full-time role managing a steady stream of milling and resurfacing work, not a one-off project. If you’ve run both field and office sides of paving operations and want autonomy to build something, this is worth a conversation.

What You Will Run

Day-to-day operations on milling and resurfacing work orders across Orange County under a 5-year county contract

Multiple active work orders simultaneously from a field office and staged yard in the Eastern Orlando market

On-site execution as the primary point of contact, bridging field crews and office-side project management

Scheduling, resource coordination, and subcontractor management for paving operations

Progress tracking and deliverables through notice-to-proceed and work order phases

What It Takes

Hands-on asphalt and paving operations experience, specifically milling and resurfacing work

Background in both field superintendent and project management or engineering roles, someone who has done both

Ability to operate independently and run the market without micromanagement

Comfort working out of a trailer and field office environment

Strong reliability and accountability, this client needs people he can count on

Prior county or DOT roadway and paving contract experience is a strong plus

Compensation and Details

Salary range: 85,000 to 130,000 per year, based on background and experience level. Full-time, direct hire. Hybrid schedule based out of the Eastern Orange County field office. Contract work begins mid-December 2026 and runs for 5 years.

Interviews are happening within the next 30 days. If you have the paving ops background and want to lead this operation, reach out to Amundson Group.
