Project Manager in Construction Company
Good Day Everybody,
I am new here. I would like to ask about Project Manager's pay in construction industry as I find it is particularly low compare to other. Please consider, Industry: Construction Company: Local SME (Contractor) Title: Project Manager Experience: 10years Age: mid 30 Monthly Basic salary: $4.5k + allowance $250 Annual income hardly reach 65k after bonus. I think I am underpaid. How is the pay for a Project Manager of similar profile, especially in MNC? What is the prospect of me moving to MNC (and higher pay)? Thanks in advance your time and contribution. |

I think you are underpaid.
Project Engineers (in construction) are paid even higher than what you are getting, depending on which company you join. |
underpaid
time to ask for a raise. i just was hired in Virginia as a construction project manager with 65k, truck, insurance, phone, computer, plus they flew me up once for the interview and once for working. working on having our relocation expenses paid for.

I'm wondering if for example, the TS decide the quit the company to join another, the new company;s hr will definitly ask for his current pay. Will it hinder him from getting paid what he is really worth?
|
to ur local sme company, u r already overpaid.
u shud look at the kind n scale of the projects u r undertaking, and compare relatively. switching company could be a wiser choice for a start. |
Project Manager (Construction)
Based in Dubai $300K SGD PA (Accommodation, Transportation all paid for. Bonuses not included) 5 years experience Mid 30s I'm lucky. 'cos to be a Project Manager in Singapore, I need to clock at least 10 years in the construction industry Luckily I chose to work overseas where they recognize that talents do not just come in the number of years clocked, unlike Singapore. |

I seldom hear of project managers in the construction industry working for a main contractor getting paid less then $6,500 basic nowadays. |
i just read today straitimes dated 18jun2011
it stated: FT project manager in construction are cheaper and are getting minimum $5000/mth. SG/Local project manager in construction are more expensive and are getting between $6000-$7000/mth TS is really under paid with just $4500/mth |

I work for a local SME as a project manager (main contractor), and I am paid closed to $SGD130,000 per annum before bonus. After factoring in my anticipated bonus, my pay for this year will be closed to $SGD200,000. But I have proven my capability and worth to the company for quite a number of years, and I am getting what I deserve. |
Project manager wannabe
Hi all, its such a coincidence! Im going for a project manager (construction company) interview next week and this is the first time i log into the forum. Can some kind soul kindly advise me what are the roles and responsibilities of a proj mgr in a construction company.
Im currently an engineer with 4 yrs working experience drawing $5000. Will i suffer a big pay cut if i were to get into this lovcal sme co struction company? Really do hope u all can help me out! I wanna find out what will be the expectations... Thanks v much in advance! |
You should ask for a pay increment. A project manager is higher in command than engineer, so yes, you should get more pay for the added responsibilities.

Quote:
Generally as a project manager for main contractor, you are expected to run the construction to ensure it is delivered within a given period and budget. You will have a team of engineers, supervisors, QS, etc to assist you. You need to have sufficient technical and managerial experience to help you make the right decisions along the way. A project manager for a smaller contractor may be required to do a lot of menial works as you would have less manpower assisting you. |
advice needed
i am student that have jus graduated from SP Architecture. i am now deciding on which course should i take in nus, architecture or project & facilities management.
The reasons for me to considered doing PM as opposed to archi is that i have heard numerous stories of the lack of work life balance for architects and the salary is not equalivent to the effort put in. May someone advice me on the the carreer prospect of PM in sg. Is there a balance of work-life? And based on the MOM Wages report, PM average income is around 5k. How true is that? Any advice is appreciated and i thank u in advance. |

Construction Project Manager (QS)
Hi All..
I was offered a salary of $3300/monthly as a junior project manager. The core business of the company is cost& contract management, and management consultancy. Is this a proper amount for a project manager in Singapore? I have Architecture background and worked for 2.5yrs as a designer in Architects firm. I just graduated and obtain my Master of Science degree in Construction Project Management from UK's university, however i don't have any proven experience in pm job. I have Singapore PR, Does it make any difference to salary consideration? Please advice. |
Which UK university? Is it distance learning or did u really fly to UK to take the course?

PM pay
Very funny. PM in construction industry at least 8 k
Regards Warren |
Hi TS..i personally think that you are grossly underpaid. Experience aside, remuneration package also depends on your qualifications and the size of the company.
I have a B.Eng, been a PM for about 10yrs and avrg performer.. Currently working for a listed sg company, annual salary is about 108k(7k + 700 transport allowance + 200 HP allowance + min 2 month bonus). On the other hand, i know of peers working for SMEs whom has only O levels, but possess numerous industrial certification with about 25yrs+ of exp drawing only 6k mthly with no allowance.. |

PM pay
Hi,
There are 2 areas construction now; building and civil engineering. Clients from building usually are not as selective as civil side. As you know civil side projects are usually government😁. And the criteria are much higher, such as the Qualification of the PM , engineers need to be PE board recognized. (If ur degree is from local spore, then u r safe). So talking about pay and bonus. You should be looking at 8k plus 3-5 months bonus for a junior PM means (10 experience since graduation). And ranged to 15k plus 3-6 months of bonus for a more senior PM.. And seriously speaking if u go for around and ask how many local grad are there in the civil industry, I can only tell you.. It's really pathetic...coz most of them left this industry after several years of working in construction. And what I can tell u is that I will see a whole change in terms of pay package by the SME contractors. Why? They will slow down hiring foreigners and really spend time to look for local grads and also to improve their image and pay package in order to attract local talents. This is due to the 20 years plan of the Singapore planning. Hence more government projects in the next 2 decades. And like what I say the criteria becomes very strict in the sense, they only accept people who are PE board qualified.... Hope that makes you understand more in this industry. |

Construction industry is one of those rare sectors that don't really care about career image and thus up to now hardly suffer any title inflation at all. While a project manager can indeed make 120k - 200k, this kind of "manager" is definitely not the same as other inflated titles you see in other industries. In the construction sector, most of the project managers accounting for sizable work are at least in their mid to late 40s. They are more equivalent to "Directors" or "VP" in other companies, freshie or junior civil engineers should not join this industry thinking they are going to make 100k+ by being a project manager within a short time. In most construction companies, being a manager is really a senior position requiring lots of experience and competency. Being a director usually means you are part of the executive leadership team entitled to profit sharing. This is very different from most companies whereby any grad that doesn't screw up is automatically promoted to a fake manager title in 4-5 years. |
