San Antonio’s construction sector continues to expand with major mixed-use development, commercial growth corridors, and ongoing multifamily demand. Amundson Group specializes in recruiting and placing Assistant Project Managers who can hit the ground running on complex projects across the city’s diverse construction verticals.

Our process combines industry-specific screening with an AI-assisted candidate evaluation system designed to surface candidates who fit both technical and cultural requirements.
We maintain a network of 90,000+ construction professionals spanning heavy civil, site development, data center, rail, tunnels, wastewater, and underground utilities. This means we can fill roles faster than traditional job postings alone. For Assistant Project Manager roles in San Antonio, we typically work with candidates in the $55,000 to $85,000 base salary range, depending on experience, education (often a four-year degree in construction management or related field), and the complexity of projects they’ve supported.
Our vetting process goes beyond resume review: we validate hands-on project experience, communication skills, and the ability to manage schedules, budgets, and coordination across trades, all critical for APMs stepping into higher-responsibility roles.
San Antonio’s construction market, what’s driving demand for Assistant Project Managers
San Antonio has maintained steady construction activity driven by population growth, corporate relocations, and ongoing investment in downtown mixed-use development and commercial real estate. The city’s construction sector is diverse: commercial office and retail projects, significant multifamily residential growth, civil and infrastructure work, and emerging industrial and logistics facilities.
Assistant Project Managers are in steady demand because they’re the operational backbone of project delivery. Contractors need APMs who can support Project Managers with scheduling, RFI management, submittal coordination, field reporting, and daily communication across the construction team. As projects grow more complex and schedules tighten, the role has become more strategic, APMs now often manage subcontractor performance, cost tracking, and quality oversight.
The San Antonio market also attracts young talent eager to grow into full PM roles, which means firms are actively recruiting APMs who have the foundation to develop into senior leadership positions over the next 3-5 years.
Assistant Project Manager salary in San Antonio (2026)
Assistant Project Manager base salaries in San Antonio typically range from $55,000 to $85,000, depending on experience level, degree credentials, the size of projects you support, and the contractor’s complexity.
