Assistant Project Manager Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a assistant project manager in Texas?
Most Texas employers expect a bachelor's degree in construction management, engineering, civil engineering, or business administration as the foundation. Texas does not require a state-issued license for assistant project managers, but many employers prioritize candidates who are pursuing or have earned a Project Management Professional credential through the Project Management Institute. Starting in a coordinator, scheduler, or document control role at a Texas construction or engineering firm is a well-worn path into the assistant PM position.
How much do assistant project managers make in Texas?
Assistant project managers in Texas earn a median of about $98,440 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $57,460 for the lowest 10% to over $162,780 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire assistant project managers in Texas?
Employers hiring assistant project managers in Texas right now include Abercrombie & Fitch, Amazon, and Walmart, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Texas's concentration of large infrastructure, energy, and commercial construction projects means demand is spread across general contractors, engineering consultancies, and corporate real estate departments throughout the state.
Which Texas cities have the most assistant project manager jobs?
Austin, Houston, and Dallas have the most assistant project manager openings in Texas. Houston's energy and petrochemical sector drives consistent volume there, while Dallas supports large commercial construction and corporate real estate projects, and Austin's rapid technology and infrastructure expansion has added significant project management hiring across both private developers and public sector contractors.
Are there remote assistant project manager jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're limited. Assistant project manager roles often require on-site presence for site walks, subcontractor coordination, and document management, making full remote work uncommon. About 2% of assistant project manager openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, and those tend to be in software implementation, IT project coordination, or corporate program support rather than construction or field-based roles.
How can I get hired as a assistant project manager in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is starting as a project coordinator, document control specialist, or field engineer intern with a large Texas general contractor or engineering firm such as Turner Construction, Fluor, or Jacobs. Many of these firms run structured new-graduate programs that rotate candidates through project roles before moving them into assistant PM positions. Earning an Associate in Project Management or completing a Procore certification gives candidates an edge when competing against others without field experience.
Where can I find and apply to assistant project manager jobs in Texas?
