Project Manager Jobs in Hawaii: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a project manager in Hawaii?

Most project manager roles in Hawaii require a bachelor's degree in business, construction management, engineering, or a related field, plus the Project Management Professional certification from the Project Management Institute. Hawaii has no state-issued project manager license, but construction-focused roles often expect familiarity with state permitting and the Hawaii contractors licensing framework administered by the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs. Defense and government roles may also require security clearance eligibility.

How much do project managers make in Hawaii?

Project managers in Hawaii earn a median of about $151,670 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $99,920 for the lowest 10% to over $216,650 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire project managers in Hawaii?

Employers hiring project managers in Hawaii right now include Alpha, Brown and Caldwell, and Jobot, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Hawaii's mix of defense contracts, large healthcare systems, and active construction pipelines means project manager demand stays consistent across both the public and private sectors.

Which Hawaii cities have the most project manager jobs?

Honolulu, Kahului, and Wailuku have the most project manager openings in Hawaii. Honolulu anchors the market as the state's commercial, government, and healthcare center, while Kapolei's ongoing development as a second urban core and Kailua-Kona's resort and infrastructure growth drive openings on neighbor islands.

Are there remote project manager jobs in Hawaii?

Yes, and they're more common than in many fields, since project management is largely a coordination and documentation role that can run effectively from any location. About 43% of project manager openings tied to Hawaii are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, reflecting broader flexibility across the profession. Planning, scheduling, reporting, and stakeholder communication are the functions most likely to be offered remotely, while on-site construction and facilities roles remain predominantly in person.

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

The most realistic entry path is moving into a project coordinator or project administrator role within Hawaii's large construction or healthcare organizations. Employers like The Queen's Health Systems and major federal contractors regularly hire coordinators who support senior project managers before stepping into independent roles. Pursuing the Certified Associate in Project Management credential through the Project Management Institute while working in an adjacent role, such as contract administration, scheduling, or operations support, accelerates the transition and signals seriousness to Hawaii hiring managers.

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

You can find and apply to project manager jobs in Hawaii on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to the Hawaii market. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level, specialization, and preferred location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
