Project Management Workloads

Hello,

First time posting here. Was just wondering what type of workloads most project managers were used to. Most of our jobs are 90-250k 2-4 person 8-16 week projects. How many projects should each PM be assigned? What are your thoughts about having a field supervisor(s) between PM and foreman? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

It varies depending on the load and what you define as a project manager. The more they oversee and don’t actually do, the more load they can handle. If they are directly supervising projects on site as a foreman /superintendent only a couple projects at a time is feasible. If they are basically just schedulers much higher work loads are possible because they have support staff. A typical supervisor position is limited to 4-10 direct reports on most construction projects. Beyond that point even informal leads are a necessity.
