Environmental Compliance Manager Jobs in Mississippi: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a environmental compliance manager in Mississippi?

Most environmental compliance managers in Mississippi start with a bachelor's degree in environmental science, civil engineering, or a related field, then gain several years in a regulatory or compliance role. Mississippi does not require a state-issued license specific to this title, but employers strongly favor candidates who hold a credential such as the Certified Hazardous Materials Manager or Certified Environmental Professional designation. Familiarity with Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality programs and permit workflows is the most consistent hiring filter.

How much do environmental compliance managers make in Mississippi?

Environmental compliance managers in Mississippi earn a median of about $67,450 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $37,040 for the lowest 10% to over $109,300 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire environmental compliance managers in Mississippi?

Employers hiring environmental compliance managers in Mississippi right now include Healthcare Services, Singing River Health System, and FedEx Freight, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Mississippi's energy production, petrochemical refining, and timber processing sectors tend to generate the most consistent demand for this role statewide.

Which Mississippi cities have the most environmental compliance manager jobs?

Jackson, Flowood, and Tupelo account for the largest share of environmental compliance manager openings in Mississippi. Jackson leads because it hosts state agency offices and the corporate headquarters of major utilities, while Gulfport and Pascagoula draw demand from port operations, shipbuilding, and the petrochemical facilities concentrated along the Gulf Coast corridor.

Are there remote environmental compliance manager jobs in Mississippi?

Yes, but they're rare. Environmental compliance work is heavily site-dependent, requiring physical inspections, permit sampling, and on-site audits that cannot be done remotely. About 14% of environmental compliance manager openings tied to Mississippi are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, and those positions typically cover only the policy writing, reporting, and regulatory correspondence portions of the role.

How can I get hired as a environmental compliance manager in Mississippi with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is an environmental technician or regulatory coordinator role at a Mississippi industrial facility or state agency, where you gain direct exposure to MDEQ inspections and permit reporting. Entergy Mississippi and large chemical manufacturers along the Gulf Coast regularly bring on environmental specialists at the associate level. Earning a CHMM or enrolling in a certificate program through a Mississippi university extension strengthens an early-career application considerably, as does any internship with the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality or a county solid-waste authority.

Where can I find and apply to environmental compliance manager jobs in Mississippi?

You can find and apply to environmental compliance manager jobs in Mississippi on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the state. Search the listings, identify the roles that align with your background and target industry, and apply directly through each posting.
