Construction Manager Jobs in Virginia Beach, VA

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.

You can get on a jobsite as a laborer or trade helper right away and start learning the management side. Moving up to foreman, superintendent, and construction manager usually takes several years of real field experience, which is exactly what employers want.

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.
