Environmental Compliance Manager Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a environmental compliance manager in Texas?
Most environmental compliance managers in Texas start with a bachelor's degree in environmental science, geology, civil engineering, or a related field. Texas does not require a state-issued environmental compliance license for the role, but employers strongly favor candidates who hold the Certified Hazardous Materials Manager designation or the Registered Environmental Manager credential. Practical experience working directly with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality on air permits, water quality authorizations, or waste registrations is the most consistent factor separating candidates who advance quickly from those who plateau.
How much do environmental compliance managers make in Texas?
Environmental compliance managers in Texas earn a median of about $75,370 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $45,170 for the lowest 10% to over $126,920 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire environmental compliance managers in Texas?
Employers hiring environmental compliance managers in Texas right now include AECOM, Langan Engineering and Environmental Services, and TALON LPE, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Texas's concentration of refineries, chemical plants, and midstream pipeline operators along the Gulf Coast means that industrial energy companies account for a disproportionate share of openings compared to most other states.
Which Texas cities have the most environmental compliance manager jobs?
Houston, Austin, and San Antonio are the cities with the most environmental compliance manager openings in Texas. Houston dominates because of its density of petrochemical facilities, refineries, and EPA Region 6 regulated industrial sites, while Dallas-Fort Worth draws openings from corporate environmental departments, municipal utilities, and manufacturing operations, and San Antonio's steady growth in industrial and public-sector infrastructure keeps its demand consistently active.
Are there remote environmental compliance manager jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're rare. About 70% of environmental compliance manager openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how site-dependent the role fundamentally is. The tasks most likely to be performed remotely are permit application writing, regulatory reporting, data analysis, and corporate environmental policy development, while field inspections, stack testing oversight, and agency liaison work almost always require an on-site presence.
How can I get hired as a environmental compliance manager in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an environmental coordinator or environmental health and safety technician role at a Texas refinery, chemical plant, or large municipality, where you build direct TCEQ compliance experience. Large Texas industrial employers like major petrochemical operators on the Gulf Coast and city water authorities in Houston and San Antonio regularly bring in candidates from adjacent roles such as environmental field technician, lab analyst, or EHS coordinator. Earning your 40-hour HAZWOPER certification and beginning the application process for the Registered Environmental Manager credential gives candidates without a full compliance background a concrete credential employers recognize.
Where can I find and apply to environmental compliance manager jobs in Texas?
