Dallas’s construction boom spans commercial towers, multifamily residential complexes, and heavy infrastructure projects, all demanding seasoned project managers who can balance budgets, timelines, and teams. Amundson Group specializes in finding and vetting the right PM talent for Dallas-based and national construction firms.
What Amundson Group does for Project Manager hiring in Dallas
Amundson Group operates as a retained search firm, meaning we work on exclusive assignment to match your firm with project managers who fit your culture, project type, and leadership needs. Rather than posting generic job ads, we leverage our network of 90,000+ construction professionals across heavy civil, site development, data center, rail, tunnels, and wastewater sectors to identify candidates before they hit the open market.
Our process combines human expertise with custom AI-assisted screening. After initial conversations with your team to understand role requirements, project complexity, and management style, we filter and evaluate candidates using behavioral assessment and technical vetting. This approach cuts through resume noise and surfaces PM candidates with proven track records on comparable projects, whether that’s managing $10M commercial builds, complex infrastructure schedules, or multiphase multifamily developments.
Project managers in Dallas typically command a base salary range of $130K to $180K depending on experience level, project size, and sector. Senior or operations-focused PMs may exceed $180K. We maintain a quarterly-updated Salary Guide with real placement data across construction disciplines, helping you stay competitive in a tight market.
Dallas’s construction market, what’s driving demand for Project Managers
Dallas, Texas remains one of the nation’s strongest construction markets. The city’s economy attracts major commercial development, corporate campuses, and mixed-use projects that require experienced project managers to oversee complex schedules and budgets. Multifamily residential construction continues to expand as the metro area grows, creating consistent demand for PMs who understand vertical construction and market-rate delivery timelines.
Civil and heavy highway infrastructure work is also prominent in the region, driven by ongoing transportation upgrades and public-sector projects. Industrial and warehouse construction remains robust, fueled by logistics demand and manufacturing expansion in the broader Texas corridor. Each sector requires slightly different PM skill sets, a commercial PM’s risk tolerance and vendor management differ from an industrial PM’s focus on equipment staging and safety protocols.
The combination of sustained economic growth, population influx, and geographic diversity of project types means Dallas construction firms are constantly recruiting experienced project managers. Turnover, retirements, and the challenge of finding truly qualified mid-to-senior level talent create ongoing gaps that standard job postings often cannot fill quickly.
Project Manager salary in Dallas (2026)
Construction project manager base salaries in Dallas as of 2026 typically range from $130K to $180K, with variation based on experience, certification (PMP, CCM), project size, and sector specialization. A PM with 5-8 years of commercial experience and a track record on $25M+ projects generally lands toward the middle to upper end of that range. Safety record, schedule performance, and the ability to mentor junior staff command premium compensation.

Why Dallas construction companies work with Amundson Group
Speed matters in construction recruiting. A vacant PM role can delay project kickoff and strain existing staff. Amundson Group’s nationwide network of 90,000+ construction professionals means we often place candidates in 4 to 6 weeks, compared to months of traditional recruiting. We don’t rely on job board volume; we proactively reach out to passive candidates who are already successful in the Dallas or regional market.
Our AI-assisted screening process also reduces hiring risk. We assess not just résumé credentials but also leadership fit, safety mindset, and communication style, attributes that determine whether a new PM will thrive within your company culture. This is especially valuable for firms scaling rapidly or opening new regional offices, where cultural alignment and team integration can make or break a hire.
Dallas construction firms also appreciate our sector depth. We understand heavy civil project delivery, site development workflows, data center construction timelines, and the scheduling demands of rail, tunnel, and wastewater projects. That expertise means smarter conversations about what your team actually needs and better candidate matching overall.
