Project Development Manager Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a project development manager in Georgia?

Most project development manager roles in Georgia require a bachelor's degree in construction management, engineering, business administration, or a closely related field. Georgia does not issue a state-specific license for this title, but employers consistently expect a Project Management Professional certification from the Project Management Institute. Candidates who build experience in project coordination or estimating roles at Georgia firms in construction, energy, or real estate development are best positioned to move into a manager-level position.

How much do project development managers make in Georgia?

Project development 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 development managers in Georgia?

Employers hiring project development managers in Georgia right now include Thomas & Hutton, Barry Wehmiller Companies, and QTS, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Georgia's concentration of large construction firms, utilities, and commercial real estate developers means openings appear consistently across both the Atlanta metro and coastal markets near Savannah.

Which Georgia cities have the most project development manager jobs?

Atlanta, Duluth, and Fayetteville lead Georgia for project development manager openings. Atlanta anchors the market as the headquarters city for major construction, energy, and real estate firms, while Savannah's port expansion and industrial growth have driven sustained hiring, and Augusta's continued commercial and healthcare development supports a steady secondary market.

Are there remote project development manager jobs in Georgia?

Yes, but they're rare. About 17% of project development manager openings tied to Georgia are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting how site-dependent much of the work is. The parts of the role most likely to be done remotely are planning, reporting, and stakeholder communication, while site assessments, contractor coordination, and permitting work typically require an in-person presence.

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

The most realistic entry path is a project coordinator or project engineer role at a Georgia construction, utilities, or real estate development firm, where you build hands-on exposure to budgets, schedules, and permitting before stepping into development management. Large Georgia employers like Georgia Power and regional construction firms often hire associate project professionals who work under senior managers. Earning an entry-level PMI credential and gaining familiarity with Georgia's permitting and zoning processes strengthens a candidate's profile considerably before applying for manager-level openings.

Where can I find and apply to project development manager jobs in Georgia?

You can find and apply to project development manager jobs in Georgia on Migrate Mate, which lists current Georgia openings across construction, energy, real estate, and infrastructure sectors. Find roles that fit your experience and location and apply directly through the listings on this page.
