Okay, let’s tackle this. So Aaron Shay has 28 years of experience in construction management, which is a long time. He also has experience in project planning, contract negotiation, and procurement, which are all valuable skills. However, his role as an HVAC journeyman and his location in Meridian, Idaho, suggest that he may be in a lower-paying industry. Construction managers with similar experience in the US can earn around $75-$100 per hour, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Considering his skills and experience, I estimate his hourly rate to be around $75.
