Construction Manager Jobs in San Antonio, TX

Most construction managers earn $45 to $58 an hour, roughly $95,000 to $120,000 a year. Feeder roles like assistant project manager start lower, while senior superintendents and general contractors who run their own jobs can clear $150,000 or more.

No. This is one of the most realistic six-figure careers without a four-year degree, and most superintendents came up through the trades. A degree can speed things up, but solid field experience plus a credential like OSHA 30 is what earns the job.
