Project Administrator Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a project administrator in Florida?
Most project administrators in Florida enter the role with a bachelor's degree in business administration, construction management, or a related field, though associate degrees combined with relevant experience are accepted by many employers. Florida does not require a state-issued license for most project administrator positions, but candidates working in construction often benefit from familiarity with Florida Building Code standards. Earning a Certified Associate in Project Management credential strengthens most applications considerably.
How much do project administrators make in Florida?
Project administrators in Florida earn a median of about $98,070 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $59,070 for the lowest 10% to over $161,250 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire project administrators in Florida?
Employers hiring project administrators in Florida right now include CDR Companies, RK&K, and Webber, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Florida's active construction sector, large hospital networks, and defense and aerospace industry mean openings appear across a wide range of employer types and sizes throughout the state.
Which Florida cities have the most project administrator jobs?
Tampa, Orlando, and Miami have the most project administrator openings in Florida. Miami's concentration of large construction, real estate, and healthcare projects drives high volume there, while Orlando's tourism infrastructure and healthcare expansion fuel steady demand, and Tampa's mix of corporate headquarters, defense contractors, and port-related development rounds out the state's busiest markets for this role.
Are there remote project administrator jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they are less common than in purely desk-based fields, since the role often requires on-site coordination, document handling, and direct communication with field teams. About 33% of project administrator openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, with those arrangements most likely in healthcare operations, IT project support, and government contract administration rather than construction or facilities roles.
How can I get hired as a project administrator in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving into the role from an adjacent position such as administrative coordinator, project assistant, or office manager, titles that large Florida employers in construction and healthcare commonly use as feeders into project administration. Hospital systems like AdventHealth and HCA Florida, along with construction firms active across South Florida and the I-4 corridor, regularly hire entry-level project assistants who can grow into administrator roles. Earning a Certified Associate in Project Management credential before applying gives candidates without direct experience a clear competitive edge.
Where can I find and apply to project administrator jobs in Florida?
You can find and apply to project administrator jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring across the state. Find roles that fit your experience and location, then apply directly to the employers posting them.
