# What Do Construction Project Manager Assistant Jobs Pay, and What Experience Do I Need?

Assistant Project Manager roles in construction typically require one to five years of experience in construction coordination or project support. More senior APM positions may ask for four or more years. A bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related field is common, though strong field experience can sometimes substitute. Day to day, you can expect to handle scheduling, RFIs, submittals, subcontractor coordination, and jobsite documentation. Pay moves based on project size and complexity, sector (heavy civil, data center, and rail roles tend to pay well), years of experience, and geography. Amundson Group places APMs across heavy civil, site development, data center, rail, tunnel, and wastewater projects nationwide.
