Amundson Group recruits and places project managers across the United States, including Arizona. We work in heavy civil, site development, data centers, rail, tunnels and wastewater sectors. Project managers in these fields typically earn more than comparable commercial construction roles because of project scale and technical complexity.
Pay for project managers moves with project size, sector, years of experience, advanced certifications and travel demand. For current pay ranges by role and sector, see our Construction Placement Pay Index at https://amundsongroup.com/construction-pay-index/
