Project Controls Manager Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a project controls manager in Washington?
The most direct path is a bachelor's degree in engineering, construction management, or a quantitative field, followed by several years of hands-on scheduling or cost engineering work. Washington has no state-issued license specific to project controls, but employers here consistently prioritize candidates who hold AACE International certifications such as the Certified Cost Professional or the PMI Planning and Scheduling Professional. Building experience on aerospace, transportation, or public infrastructure projects gives candidates a clear advantage in the Washington market.
How much do project controls managers make in Washington?
Project controls managers in Washington earn a median of about $124,160 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $74,750 for the lowest 10% to over $202,120 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire project controls managers in Washington?
Employers hiring project controls managers in Washington right now include Burns & McDonnell, HDR, and WSP, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Washington's mix of aerospace primes, major public-works agencies, and large general contractors means openings appear across both private and government-funded programs throughout the state.
Which Washington cities have the most project controls manager jobs?
Seattle, Vancouver, and Renton account for the most project controls manager openings in Washington. Seattle and Bellevue drive volume through their concentration of aerospace, technology construction, and large commercial development projects, while Tacoma and the surrounding Pierce County area generates steady demand from port infrastructure, military installation work, and state transportation programs.
Are there remote project controls manager jobs in Washington?
Yes, but they are relatively limited. About 67% of project controls manager openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the fact that much of the work involves on-site schedule reviews, subcontractor coordination, and field data collection. The reporting and analysis portions of the role are most likely to be performed remotely or in a hybrid arrangement.
How can I get hired as a project controls manager in Washington with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is a junior project controls analyst or project coordinator role on large capital programs. Boeing's early career and co-op programs regularly bring in candidates from Washington universities such as the University of Washington and Washington State University for scheduling and cost support functions. The Washington State Department of Transportation also hires associate-level planners who build transferable controls experience. Earning an entry-level AACE certification and gaining Primavera P6 proficiency before applying gives candidates a concrete edge over those with only a degree.
