Phoenix is one of the hottest construction markets in the US. The city ranked second nationally with 36 active projects in Q1 2026, supported by a workforce that grew 6% year-over-year to 42,300 workers. That momentum matters because it signals sustained demand for experienced PMs, estimators, superintendents, and project engineers.

Nationally, construction job openings hit 298,000 in May 2026, up from 266,000 just the month before. For senior placements, construction managers average $124,360 annually, while experienced commercial roles range $95,000, $130,000+, depending on scope and overhead. The skilled trades remain hard to fill; the industry needs roughly 349,000 new workers in 2026, which keeps pressure on hiring timelines.

At Amundson Group, we specialize in filling those leadership gaps across commercial, civil, industrial, and energy sectors. If you're a hiring manager struggling to find experienced talent in Phoenix, or a candidate exploring your next opportunity, the market favors strategic moves, now.
