Project Management Specialists salary in San Antonio, Texas

With 8,910 Project Management Specialists employed in the San Antonio metro, this is one of the larger concentrations of the role in Texas. The 2024 median annual wage was $85,060, which runs about 9% below the Texas median of $93,880 and roughly 16% below the national figure of $100,946.

The average wage of $93,410 sits noticeably above the median. A smaller group of senior or specialized PMs in the area pull that figure up, so the typical earner in San Antonio is closer to the lower number.

The spread across earners is wide. At the 10th percentile, wages start around $52,500. At the 90th, they reach $136,430. That means the highest-paid PMs in San Antonio earn about 2.6 times what the lowest-paid do. A gap that size usually reflects real differences in industry, scope of projects managed, and how many years someone has been doing the work. San Antonio's economy draws heavily from healthcare, the military, and financial services, and compensation in those sectors tends to land at different points on that range.

The gap between San Antonio and the rest of Texas is worth noting. Several Texas metros, including Austin and Dallas, skew the statewide median upward. San Antonio's figure is below that state line, but it is not an outlier when compared to similarly sized metros outside the major tech corridors.
