Based on activity from our recruiting desks and cross-checked against authoritative sources like BLS, AGC, and ENR, construction schedulers targeting roles with smaller or family-owned contractors in the Sun Belt commonly see total compensation in the $130,000 to $150,000 range, varying by project type, company size, and geography. Candidates moving from large ENR-ranked firms to smaller operators sometimes accept the lower end of that band in exchange for greater autonomy, direct leadership visibility, and the ability to build scheduling standards from the ground up.
