Entry-level PM roles do exist, though they're competitive. Most firms hire directly into Project Engineer or Assistant Project Manager positions, which serve as natural pipelines to full PM roles. You'll typically need a bachelor's degree in construction management or civil engineering, plus internship or field experience. Some regional and mid-sized contractors actively develop junior talent, especially in commercial, multifamily, and civil sectors. At Amundson Group, we work with national clients across these verticals, and while our core focus is senior placements ($130K-250K base range), we understand the market well. If you're early-career, we recommend building 2-3 years of on-site experience first; this dramatically improves your candidacy. Consider roles in estimating, scheduling, or field coordination as stepping stones. We're happy to discuss your long-term trajectory and can point you toward firms known for developing junior talent in your market. Persistence and hands-on experience matter more than the job title when starting out.
