Construction Managers salary in Maine

Maine's median Construction Manager wage was $104,060 in 2024, about 5.5% below the US median of $110,156. That gap is modest by state standards. Part of it reflects Maine's cost of living: the state's overall index sits at 99.1, nearly identical to the national baseline. In purchasing-power terms, the nominal difference shrinks to almost nothing. A dollar earned here buys roughly the same as a dollar earned in an average US market.

The spread across earners is wide. The bottom 10% of Construction Managers in Maine brought in $63,260, while the top 10% reached $167,810. That is a difference of more than $104,000 between the two ends. The 25th to 75th percentile band runs from $85,610 to $132,760, so even mid-range variation is substantial. Project size, sector, and years of experience likely account for most of it. Commercial and public infrastructure work tends to pay more than residential; project managers running large state contracts sit in a different category than site supervisors on smaller builds.

The mean annual wage of $112,220 runs above the median by roughly $8,000. A smaller group of higher earners pulls that average up, so the median is the more useful reference for most people entering the field.

BLS projects employment for Construction Managers to grow 8.7% nationally between 2024 and 2034, a pace it classifies as faster than average. Maine's 1,720 employed Construction Managers represent a relatively small workforce, so even modest demand shifts can move wages noticeably in either direction. No state-level annual openings figure was available in the 2024 data release.
