A Legacy of Construction Staffing Success
Staffing Job Sites and Offices for Over 6 Decades
Robert Underwood in the early years
Amtec's Brea office in 1978
Founded in 1959 by Robert Underwood, Amtec grew up alongside Southern California construction. Six decades of building booms, downturns, and recoveries have taught us how quickly a contractor needs to staff up, and how costly the wrong hire is once a schedule is set.
Our construction practice covers both sides of the business: the project management, estimating, and administrative roles that run a job from the office, and the field leadership that runs it on site.
Today Amtec recruits for general contractors, subcontractors, and developers who need people who can read a schedule, manage a budget, and keep a crew safe, and who need them before the next phase starts.
