Entry-level construction project manager positions typically range from $58,000 to $95,000 annually, depending on company size, location, and your background. Assistant PM roles, often the true entry point, cluster around $78,000 to $95,000 nationally. Larger contractors and firms in high-cost regions (West Coast, Northeast) often offer positions at the higher end of that range. Your actual offer will depend on whether you're coming in as an Assistant PM (common entry path), your degree level, any relevant field experience, and the project type, commercial, multifamily, civil, and industrial placements we handle typically command stronger compensation than smaller residential work. If you're transitioning from a related field (estimating, engineering, site supervision), you may qualify for roles at the $90K, $110K level. We've placed hundreds of construction professionals nationwide, and we're happy to discuss realistic salary expectations for your specific background and target market.
