Project Controls Manager Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a project controls manager in Massachusetts?

Most project controls managers in Massachusetts enter through a bachelor's degree in construction management, civil engineering, or a related technical discipline, then build several years of scheduling or cost engineering experience on capital projects. Massachusetts does not issue a state-specific license for this role, but employers strongly favor candidates who hold a Project Management Professional credential from PMI or a Planning and Scheduling Professional credential, both of which require documented project hours and a formal exam.

How much do project controls managers make in Massachusetts?

Project controls managers in Massachusetts earn a median of about $114,190 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $72,800 for the lowest 10% to over $174,840 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire project controls managers in Massachusetts?

Employers hiring project controls managers in Massachusetts right now include AECOM, Eversource Energy, and Skanska, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Massachusetts's concentration of defense prime contractors along Route 128 and major academic medical center construction programs keeps demand consistent across both the private and public-sector segments of the market.

Which Massachusetts cities have the most project controls manager jobs?

Boston, Westwood, and Waltham account for the largest share of project controls manager openings in Massachusetts. Greater Boston anchors demand through its volume of life sciences construction, transit capital programs, and defense contractor offices, while Worcester and the Route 128 suburbs draw hiring from large engineering firms and federal program offices that locate outside the city core to manage costs.

Are there remote project controls manager jobs in Massachusetts?

Yes, but they're limited, because project controls work typically requires direct coordination with site teams, access to project data systems, and regular owner meetings tied to specific job sites. About 75% of project controls manager openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and when remote options exist, they tend to apply to the reporting, forecasting, and variance-analysis portions of the role rather than on-site schedule monitoring.

How can I get hired as a project controls manager in Massachusetts with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is a junior cost engineer or project controls analyst role, which large Massachusetts employers like Turner Construction, Suffolk Construction, and major defense primes regularly staff with candidates coming directly from construction management or engineering programs. Massachusetts is also home to cooperative education pipelines through Northeastern University and WPI that place students in project controls functions before graduation. Earning a Primavera P6 certification and building a portfolio of schedule or cost reports from coursework or internship projects gives early-career candidates a concrete edge in screening.

Where can I find and apply to project controls manager jobs in Massachusetts?
