Project Development Manager Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a project development manager in Colorado?
Most project development manager roles in Colorado require a bachelor's degree in engineering, construction management, business, or a closely related field, combined with several years of progressively responsible project work. While Colorado does not issue a state license specific to this title, many employers require or strongly prefer the Project Management Professional credential from the Project Management Institute. Candidates in energy and infrastructure often also hold an EIT or PE license through the Colorado State Board of Licensure for Architects, Engineers, and Land Surveyors.
How much do project development managers make in Colorado?
Project development managers in Colorado earn a median of about $110,050 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $68,990 for the lowest 10% to over $171,630 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire project development managers in Colorado?
Employers hiring project development managers in Colorado right now include MTSI, Atwell, and Jacobs, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Colorado's concentration of energy companies, defense contractors, and large general contractors creates consistent demand for this role across multiple sectors throughout the year.
Which Colorado cities have the most project development manager jobs?
Denver, Centennial, and Colorado Springs have the most project development manager openings in Colorado. Denver dominates because it anchors the state's energy, construction, and technology sectors and hosts regional headquarters for major contractors and utilities, while Colorado Springs draws demand from defense and aerospace employers at installations like Peterson Space Force Base, and Boulder's clean energy and research corridor generates consistent openings in renewable and infrastructure development.
Are there remote project development manager jobs in Colorado?
Yes, but they are limited. About 83% of project development manager openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the fact that much of this role involves site visits, contractor coordination, and in-person stakeholder meetings. The portions of the role most likely to be done remotely are early-stage feasibility work, financial modeling, and permitting research rather than active construction or development phases.
How can I get hired as a project development manager in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a project coordinator or project engineer role at a Colorado-based general contractor, utility, or infrastructure firm, then building toward management over two to four years. Companies like Mortenson Construction and Xcel Energy run structured early-career programs and rotational tracks that place candidates without direct management experience into project support roles. Earning your CAPM certification from the Project Management Institute before applying signals commitment and gives you a concrete credential, and a portfolio showing you managed scope, schedule, or budget on any project, even a volunteer or academic one, strengthens a lean resume.
Where can I find and apply to project development manager jobs in Colorado?
You can find and apply to project development manager jobs in Colorado on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to this role across the state. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level and industry background, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
