Construction Project Manager Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a construction project manager in Virginia?
Most construction project managers in Virginia start with a bachelor's degree in construction management, civil engineering, or architecture, then move into field or coordinator roles before advancing to full project management. Virginia does not require a state license to manage construction projects, but employers across the state consistently expect the Project Management Professional credential or the Certified Construction Manager designation. Large Virginia contractors typically promote from within, so gaining hands-on field experience early is the most direct path.
How much do construction project managers make in Virginia?
Construction project managers in Virginia earn a median of about $119,110 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $79,940 for the lowest 10% to over $183,980 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire construction project managers in Virginia?
Companies currently hiring construction project managers in Virginia include HITT Contracting, Atlantic Constructors, and Turner & Townsend Pty Limited, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Virginia's concentration of federal and defense work means large general contractors with active government contracts tend to be among the most consistent sources of openings in the state.
Which Virginia cities have the most construction project manager jobs?
Richmond, Falls Church, and Arlington have the most construction project manager openings in Virginia. Northern Virginia leads because of its dense federal agency footprint, major data center corridor, and proximity to Washington, DC, while Richmond drives demand through commercial and mixed-use development, and Hampton Roads generates steady work through military base construction and port infrastructure projects.
Are there remote construction project manager jobs in Virginia?
Yes, but they're rare. About 23% of construction project manager openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, which reflects how site-dependent the role is by nature. The tasks most likely to be performed remotely are preconstruction planning, budgeting, scheduling, and owner reporting, while active construction phases almost always require on-site presence.
How can I get hired as a construction project manager in Virginia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is starting as a project engineer, assistant superintendent, or estimating coordinator with a Virginia general contractor or federal construction firm and working toward project management from within. Balfour Beatty, Clark Construction, and similarly sized firms operating in Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads regularly bring in new graduates through structured associate and development programs. Earning an Associate Constructor credential through the American Institute of Constructors, or completing an AGC of Virginia apprenticeship, signals commitment to Virginia employers and accelerates advancement.
