Civil Project Manager Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a civil project manager in Virginia?
The most direct path starts with a bachelor's degree in civil engineering or construction management, followed by gaining field experience and earning licensure through the Virginia Board for Architects, Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, Certified Interior Designers and Landscape Architects. Passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam and then the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam qualifies you as a licensed PE in Virginia, which many employers require for project manager roles. Adding a PMP credential strengthens your candidacy further.
How much do civil project managers make in Virginia?
Civil project managers in Virginia earn a median of about $120,840 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $68,020 for the lowest 10% to over $179,970 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire civil project managers in Virginia?
Employers hiring civil project managers in Virginia right now include TIMMONS, Bowman, and J+M Infrastructure, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Virginia's combination of VDOT transportation contracts, active military installation projects, and rapid Northern Virginia land development keeps a broad mix of large engineering firms and regional contractors hiring throughout the year.
Which Virginia cities have the most civil project manager jobs?
Richmond, Virginia Beach, and Fairfax have the most civil project manager openings in Virginia. Northern Virginia's proximity to federal agencies and data center construction drives the highest volume, while Richmond anchors state infrastructure and utility work, and Hampton Roads sustains demand through naval facility projects and coastal resilience initiatives that keep engineering firms staffed year-round.
Are there remote civil project manager jobs in Virginia?
Yes, but they're rare. Civil project management is fundamentally a site-based role requiring regular presence at construction sites, client offices, and agency meetings, so fully remote positions are uncommon. About 33% of civil project manager openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those arrangements typically cover planning, estimating, or preconstruction phases rather than active construction oversight.
How can I get hired as a civil project manager in Virginia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is a project engineer or assistant project manager role at a Virginia engineering or construction firm, where you support licensed PEs on active VDOT or municipal contracts while building toward your own PE license. Large Virginia-based or Virginia-active firms like AECOM, Jacobs, and Kimley-Horn run structured new-graduate programs that rotate candidates through design, field, and client coordination work. Completing your FE exam before applying and targeting local government infrastructure internships in Richmond or Northern Virginia gives candidates a measurable edge over those without any credentials.
Where can I find and apply to civil project manager jobs in Virginia?
You can find and apply to civil project manager jobs in Virginia on Migrate Mate, which lists current Virginia openings across engineering firms, construction companies, and public agencies. Search the available roles, find the ones that match your experience and location, and apply directly to each employer.
