Project Controls Manager Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a project controls manager in Georgia?
Most project controls managers in Georgia start with a bachelor's degree in construction management, civil engineering, or a closely related field, then build experience in cost engineering or scheduling roles. Georgia does not require a state-issued license specific to project controls, but employers strongly favor candidates who hold AACE International or PMI credentials. Gaining experience on Georgia DOT, federal, or large private construction projects is the most direct path to a management-level role.
How much do project controls managers make in Georgia?
Project controls managers in Georgia earn a median of about $102,140 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $58,290 for the lowest 10% to over $163,320 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire project controls managers in Georgia?
Employers hiring project controls managers in Georgia right now include Cushman & Wakefield, Burns & McDonnell, and ISC Constructors, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Georgia's concentration of defense contractors, infrastructure firms, and large industrial projects means that both government prime contractors and private engineering firms post regularly throughout the year.
Which Georgia cities have the most project controls manager jobs?
Atlanta, Stilesboro, and Alpharetta have the most project controls manager openings in Georgia. Atlanta drives the largest share of demand through its headquarters-heavy corporate base and major infrastructure investment, while Savannah's rapid port expansion and industrial growth have made it a rising hub, and Augusta's defense and government contracting sector anchors steady hiring outside the metro core.
Are there remote project controls manager jobs in Georgia?
Yes, but they're limited. Project controls work often requires on-site presence for progress monitoring, contractor coordination, and field data collection, so fully remote roles are less common than in purely analytical fields. About 55% of project controls manager openings tied to Georgia are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, with the remote share concentrated in reporting, forecasting, and program-level oversight roles that do not require daily site access.
How can I get hired as a project controls manager in Georgia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a junior cost engineer or project controls analyst role, which large Georgia contractors and government agencies use to develop new talent. Firms like Jacobs and Fluor, as well as Georgia DOT prime contractors, hire entry-level candidates from construction management and engineering programs at Georgia Tech and Southern Polytechnic. Earning an AACE Certified Cost Technician credential and building Primavera P6 proficiency before applying gives candidates a measurable edge over other early-career applicants.
Where can I find and apply to project controls manager jobs in Georgia?
You can find and apply to project controls manager jobs in Georgia on Migrate Mate, which lists current Georgia openings across construction, defense, infrastructure, and industrial sectors. Find roles that fit your experience and apply directly to each employer without creating a profile or signing up.
