Demand for site development project managers and superintendents is strong and the candidate pool is thin. Construction job openings remain elevated nationally, and firms in heavy civil, site development, data centers, and wastewater are competing hardest for experienced office and field leadership. The shortage is sharpest for project managers, estimators, and superintendents with a track record on complex ground-up work. If you are a candidate, your leverage is real. If you are hiring, slow processes and below-market offers will cost you the search. Pay for these roles moves on project size and complexity, sector, years of experience, relevant licenses, and willingness to travel.
