Engineering Project Manager Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a engineering project manager in Georgia?
Most engineering project managers in Georgia start with a bachelor's degree in a technical discipline such as civil, mechanical, or electrical engineering, sometimes followed by a Project Management Professional certification through PMI. Georgia does not require a separate state license specifically for project managers, but candidates managing projects that involve licensed engineering work often hold or work alongside a Georgia-registered Professional Engineer. Large Georgia employers in aerospace, construction, and utilities typically require a combination of relevant engineering experience and demonstrated project delivery before hiring at the manager level.
How much do engineering project managers make in Georgia?
Engineering project managers in Georgia earn a median of about $161,470 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $107,170 for the lowest 10% to over $221,750 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire engineering project managers in Georgia?
Employers hiring engineering project managers in Georgia right now include Lockheed Martin, ENERCON SERVICES, and EPPSTEIN UHEN ARCHITECTS, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Georgia's concentration of defense contractors, infrastructure firms, and energy utilities means demand is spread across both the Atlanta metro and coastal and industrial markets like Savannah and Augusta.
Which Georgia cities have the most engineering project manager jobs?
Marietta, Atlanta, and Kennesaw have the most engineering project manager openings in Georgia. Atlanta dominates because of its density of corporate headquarters, major construction activity, and defense contractor offices, while Savannah's port expansion and manufacturing growth have driven consistent demand there, and other metro areas reflect the presence of large utilities, military installations, and regional infrastructure programs.
Are there remote engineering project manager jobs in Georgia?
Yes, but they are less common than in purely desk-based fields, since engineering project managers often need to be on-site during construction, commissioning, or inspection phases. About 50% of engineering project manager openings tied to Georgia are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with those roles concentrating in program planning, vendor coordination, and early-phase design management where physical presence is not required daily.
How can I get hired as a engineering project manager in Georgia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving into a project engineer or project coordinator role first, then building toward management responsibility over time. Georgia firms like Jacobs, Fluor, and state agencies such as the Georgia Department of Transportation regularly hire entry-level project engineers and construction coordinators who support senior project managers on active programs. Earning your Engineer-in-Training designation through the Georgia State Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors strengthens early applications, and candidates who demonstrate scheduling software proficiency and familiarity with contract documentation stand out even without extensive management experience.
Where can I find and apply to engineering project manager jobs in Georgia?
