Align your credentials to U.S. project standards
Clayco evaluates Construction Managers on U.S.-style project delivery experience, including design-build and integrated project delivery. If your credentials are from outside the U.S., document your experience against equivalent American construction frameworks before applying.
Use Migrate Mate to filter open Construction Manager roles
Clayco regularly posts Construction Manager openings across different regions and project types. Use Migrate Mate to filter specifically for roles where visa sponsorship is confirmed, so you're not wasting applications on positions that won't support your status.
Clarify sponsorship scope before accepting an offer
Ask your Clayco recruiter whether sponsorship covers only initial H-1B filing or includes future Green Card support through PERM and EB-2 or EB-3. Knowing this upfront lets you plan your long-term immigration timeline without surprises after you've already started.
Build a project portfolio that reflects Clayco's sectors
Clayco focuses heavily on commercial and industrial construction. Organize your portfolio around projects in those sectors, with clear ownership of scope, budget, and schedule. Generic resumes without sector-relevant project detail rarely move forward in their review process.
Anticipate DOL prevailing wage requirements for your role level
For H-1B and PERM filings, the DOL requires Clayco to pay prevailing wages tied to your job title and work location. Understand where your experience places you in the wage level scale before negotiations, since your offered salary directly affects which filing path is available.

Find Construction Manager at Clayco JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Clayco sponsor H-1B visas for Construction Managers?
Yes, Clayco sponsors H-1B visas for Construction Manager roles. Construction management qualifies as a specialty occupation under USCIS guidelines when the position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a relevant field such as civil engineering or construction management. You'll need a qualifying job offer before your employer can file a petition on your behalf.
Which visa types are commonly used for Construction Manager roles at Clayco?
Clayco has sponsored Construction Managers through several visa categories, including H-1B, TN, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, and J-1. Canadian and Mexican nationals often use the TN visa, which has no annual lottery. H-1B is the most common path for other nationalities. For longer-term employees, Clayco has also supported Green Card sponsorship through EB-2 and EB-3 pathways.
What qualifications and experience does Clayco expect for Construction Manager roles?
Clayco generally looks for a bachelor's degree in construction management, civil engineering, or a related field, combined with hands-on field experience managing project schedules, subcontractors, and budgets. For H-1B eligibility, the role must require a degree in a specific discipline, so a generalist background without a clear field-of-study match can complicate the specialty occupation determination.
How do I apply for Construction Manager jobs at Clayco?
Search for open Construction Manager roles on Migrate Mate, which filters specifically for positions with confirmed visa sponsorship. Once you've identified a relevant opening, apply directly through Clayco's hiring process. Tailor your resume to the project type and sector in the listing, since Clayco hires across commercial, industrial, and institutional construction and recruiters often screen by sector experience first.
How do I time my application if my OPT or visa status is running out?
If you're on F-1 OPT, apply early enough that an H-1B petition can be filed before your OPT expires. The H-1B cap-subject filing window opens in April each year, with an October 1 start date. If your OPT expires before October 1, a timely H-1B filing with a receipt notice allows you to keep working during the gap under cap-gap protection, provided USCIS receives the petition before your OPT ends.
