Infrastructure Project Manager Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a infrastructure project manager in Texas?
The most direct path into infrastructure project management in Texas is a bachelor's degree in civil engineering, construction management, or a closely related field, followed by the Project Management Professional certification from PMI. Texas does not issue a state-specific license for the project manager title itself, but roles involving engineering sign-off require a Texas PE license through the Texas Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. Most employers also expect several years of field or coordination experience before considering candidates for a full project manager role.
How much do infrastructure project managers make in Texas?
Infrastructure project managers in Texas earn a median of about $98,440 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $57,460 for the lowest 10% to over $162,780 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire infrastructure project managers in Texas?
Employers hiring infrastructure project managers in Texas right now include Logic, Tesla, and Turner & Townsend Pty Limited, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Texas's concentration of large engineering firms, public-private transportation authorities, and major municipal utilities means consistent year-round demand across the state.
Which Texas cities have the most infrastructure project manager jobs?
Austin, Dallas, and Houston have the most infrastructure project manager openings in Texas. Houston leads because of its dense cluster of engineering firms, energy infrastructure operators, and the Port of Houston, while Dallas-Fort Worth and Austin generate steady demand through highway expansion programs, transit authority projects, and fast-growing municipal utility systems.
Are there remote infrastructure project manager jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're rare. Infrastructure project management is heavily site-dependent, so most roles require regular presence at job sites, agency offices, or client locations. About 41% of infrastructure project manager openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those positions tend to cover program oversight, reporting, and stakeholder coordination rather than active construction management.
How can I get hired as a infrastructure project manager in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is a project coordinator or assistant project manager role, which large Texas engineering firms such as Jacobs, Kimley-Horn, and Freese and Nichols regularly post as structured onboarding positions for recent graduates. Lateral moves from construction field supervision, cost estimating, or owner's representative work are also common. Earning the CAPM certification from PMI before you have the hours required for the PMP signals seriousness to Texas employers, and a portfolio of coursework or internship projects tied to Texas infrastructure types, particularly transportation or water, strengthens early applications.
Where can I find and apply to infrastructure project manager jobs in Texas?
