Are There Actually Remote Project Manager Jobs in Construction, and What Do They Pay?

Yes, remote and hybrid PM roles are growing in construction, though they're more common in certain sectors. Owner's rep, renewable energy (especially wind), development, and project controls functions lead the market. A recent posting for a remote Associate Project Manager in wind construction, for example, offered $125K, $135K total compensation plus equity, requiring 3+ years of experience and monthly site travel.

Compensation for remote senior PM roles typically ranges $130K, $250K base depending on experience, sector, and project complexity. The catch: most "remote" roles still expect monthly or quarterly site visits and comfort moving between office and field. You'll need strong technical skills in Excel, Bluebeam, Microsoft Suite, and project controls software.

If you're targeting true remote construction PM work, focus on owner's rep firms, large developers, and energy companies. General contractors managing active jobsites rarely offer fully remote PM positions. We place senior PMs across these verticals nationwide, let's discuss what fits your background and goals.
