Construction Project Manager Jobs in Kansas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a construction project manager in Kansas?
Most construction project managers in Kansas enter the field with a bachelor's degree in construction management, civil engineering, or architecture, then build field experience before moving into a project leadership role. Kansas does not require a state-issued contractor's license for project managers employed by a licensed firm, but many employers expect candidates to hold or pursue a Certified Construction Manager credential through the Construction Management Association of America or a PMP certification through the Project Management Institute.
How much do construction project managers make in Kansas?
Construction project managers in Kansas earn a median of about $120,810 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $77,310 for the lowest 10% to over $163,130 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire construction project managers in Kansas?
Companies currently hiring construction project managers in Kansas include P1 Construction, Cumming, and D.H. Pace Company, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Kansas's mix of industrial, commercial, and infrastructure projects means demand comes from general contractors, engineering firms, and large utilities with ongoing capital programs in the state.
Which Kansas cities have the most construction project manager jobs?
Kansas, Lenexa, and Kansas City hold the most construction project manager openings in Kansas. Wichita drives the largest share through its aerospace manufacturing, industrial facility work, and active commercial development, while Kansas City's cross-state metro generates volume in infrastructure and large-scale commercial projects, and Topeka adds steady public-sector and institutional construction demand as the state capital.
Are there remote construction project manager jobs in Kansas?
Yes, but they're rare. Construction project management is an inherently site-dependent role, so fully remote positions are uncommon. About 38% of construction project manager openings tied to Kansas are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those tend to be pre-construction planning, estimating, or program oversight roles rather than active site management positions.
How can I get hired as a construction project manager in Kansas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through an assistant project manager or project engineer role at a Kansas general contractor or engineering firm, where you work under a senior PM and build direct site experience. Large Kansas employers like Burns & McDonnell and Garney Construction hire early-career candidates from construction management and civil engineering programs at Kansas State University and the University of Kansas. Earning an Associate Constructor credential through the American Institute of Constructors strengthens an entry-level application before full certification is achievable.
Where can I find and apply to construction project manager jobs in Kansas?
