Project Scheduler Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a project scheduler in Virginia?
Breaking into project scheduling in Virginia typically starts with a bachelor's degree in construction management, civil engineering, systems engineering, or business, followed by earning the PMI Scheduling Professional credential or the broader Project Management Professional certification through the Project Management Institute. Virginia's defense and federal contracting sector places especially high value on Primavera P6 proficiency and earned value management training, both of which can be pursued through community colleges and professional development programs across Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads.
How much do project schedulers make in Virginia?
Project schedulers in Virginia earn a median of about $120,840 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $68,020 for the lowest 10% to over $179,970 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire project schedulers in Virginia?
Employers hiring project schedulers in Virginia right now include Chenega Corporation, Hourigan Construction, and MEB, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Virginia's strong concentration of defense contractors, federal agencies, and large construction firms means project scheduler demand is distributed across both private sector companies and government-adjacent program offices throughout the state.
Which Virginia cities have the most project scheduler jobs?
Richmond, Falls Church, and Hampton Roads have the most project scheduler openings in Virginia. Northern Virginia's dense cluster of defense contractors and federal agencies drives the largest share of postings, while Richmond's state government and infrastructure projects and Hampton Roads' naval and shipbuilding operations sustain consistent demand in those metros.
How can I get hired as a project scheduler in Virginia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving into a project scheduler role from a related position such as project coordinator, construction administrator, or program analyst, which are roles that large Virginia employers like Leidos, Northrop Grumman, and AECOM regularly post for candidates without scheduling-specific backgrounds. Completing a Primavera P6 training course and pursuing the CAPM credential through the Project Management Institute gives candidates a measurable edge. Many Northern Virginia defense contractors also offer associate project controls or junior scheduler roles explicitly designed for recent graduates with a technical degree but no direct scheduling experience.
Where can I find and apply to project scheduler jobs in Virginia?
