I’m a Senior Project Manager at an engineering consulting firm - I don’t have my PE as of yet and my compensation is $100k + bonus. Just a bit of background, at my firm a Senior PM is someone with 8+ years exp. I have 10 years experience and on track to making Principal in a couple of months. I seriously think I’m on the low end of the salary range as a Senior PM. What’s a typical Senior PM or Principal compensation in your firm?

Also just for more info I did look up another offer I had for $125 from another CM/PM firm (turned down for switch to consulting-much better offer) DM me if you want more context or a recommendation to either, both are hiring in the US and CAN

Is the $100k in USD or CAD? Big difference depending on the currency.

Having the PE or P.Eng should get you a bump. Companies will highlight your credentials when bidding jobs. In the RFP, it always looks better when the management team members are licensed engineers.

PE will give you a bump.

I feel you are under valued, I does depend on your market location. If you are in any min-sized city you should easily be 30k more.

I also think it depends on the size of the firm too. How many people work in your company?

Unless there is a piece of the puzzle missing, I think you are being underpaid. You should be making at least $120k.
