Project Controls Manager Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a project controls manager in Texas?
The most direct path is a bachelor's degree in engineering, construction management, or a related field, followed by progressive experience in project controls roles such as scheduler, cost engineer, or project controls analyst. Texas does not require a state-issued license specific to project controls, but AACE International certifications such as the Certified Cost Technician or Planning and Scheduling Professional are widely recognized by Texas employers in energy, EPC, and infrastructure and can accelerate advancement to a manager role.
How much do project controls managers make in Texas?
Project controls 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 project controls managers in Texas?
Employers hiring project controls managers in Texas right now include Amazon, Burns & McDonnell, and Terracon Consultants, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Texas's energy and large-scale infrastructure sectors mean many of these employers are operating long-term capital programs that require ongoing project controls leadership.
Which Texas cities have the most project controls manager jobs?
Houston, Austin, and Dallas have the most project controls manager openings in Texas. Houston dominates due to the density of energy, petrochemical, and EPC firms headquartered there, while Dallas supports a broad mix of infrastructure, commercial construction, and corporate program management, and San Antonio contributes through military installation programs and growing utility and infrastructure investment.
Are there remote project controls manager jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they are limited. Project controls managers frequently work alongside on-site construction or engineering teams and need direct access to project data, field teams, and owner representatives, which keeps most roles on-site or hybrid. About 7% of project controls manager openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, and when remote work is available it tends to cover reporting, scheduling analysis, and cost forecasting functions rather than full project oversight.
How can I get hired as a project controls manager in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is a project controls analyst or junior scheduler role within a large Texas EPC or energy firm. Companies like Fluor, Wood, and Zachry Group regularly bring on associates or rotational hires from engineering or construction management programs, including graduates from Texas universities. Earning an AACE student membership and completing a cost or scheduling certification before graduating signals commitment, and internships in capital project environments convert to full-time roles more reliably than any other path in Texas's energy and construction market.
Where can I find and apply to project controls manager jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to project controls manager jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Texas openings across energy, construction, infrastructure, and engineering sectors. Find roles that fit your experience and apply directly to the employers posting them.
