What Does a Project Engineer or Assistant Project Manager Make in Heavy Civil Construction in the DFW Area?

Heavy civil project engineers and assistant project managers in the Dallas, Fort Worth area see pay move based on several factors: years of experience, project size and complexity, sector (data center and tunnel work tend to pay above comparable civil roles), familiarity with TxDOT processes, design-build exposure, and whether the role carries travel requirements. Relevant certifications and the ability to manage subcontractors or self-perform scopes also push compensation higher. The DFW market is active, and candidates with roadway, bridge, or earthwork backgrounds on large-scale projects are in strong demand.
