Environmental Health And Safety Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a environmental health and safety in Texas?

Most environmental health and safety roles in Texas require a bachelor's degree in occupational health, environmental science, chemistry, or engineering. Texas does not issue a single state EHS license, but employers consistently require OSHA certification and increasingly expect a Certified Safety Professional credential, awarded through the Board of Certified Safety Professionals. Candidates targeting the oil, gas, and petrochemical sectors should also pursue Process Safety Management training, which is a practical requirement for many Houston-area roles.

How much do environmental health and safeties make in Texas?

Environmental health and safeties in Texas earn a median of about $79,660 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $46,380 for the lowest 10% to over $126,500 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire environmental health and safetys in Texas?

Employers hiring environmental health and safetys in Texas right now include Qorvo, WM, and TEEX, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Texas's concentration of refining, chemical manufacturing, and large-scale construction projects means demand is especially consistent along the Gulf Coast and in the Dallas-Fort Worth industrial corridor.

Which Texas cities have the most environmental health and safety jobs?

Houston, Austin, and Richardson have the most environmental health and safety openings in Texas. Houston leads by a wide margin because of its refining and petrochemical complex, while Dallas and Fort Worth draw demand from construction, logistics, and corporate headquarters, and San Antonio generates openings through its military installations, healthcare systems, and growing manufacturing base.

Are there remote environmental health and safety jobs in Texas?

Yes, but they're rare. EHS work is largely site-dependent, requiring physical inspections, audits, and incident response that cannot be done remotely. About 14% of environmental health and safety openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions tend to be corporate compliance, EHS consulting, or program management roles rather than field safety positions.

How can I get hired as a environmental health and safety in Texas with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is an EHS technician or safety coordinator role in construction or manufacturing, where employers will hire candidates with an OSHA 30-hour card and a relevant degree even without direct experience. Large Texas contractors like Turner Construction and industrial operators along the Gulf Coast run structured new-hire safety programs that place graduates directly in the field. Obtaining an Associate Safety Professional credential early and pursuing internships through Texas A&M or the University of Houston's environmental health programs gives candidates a measurable edge.

Where can I find and apply to environmental health and safety jobs in Texas?
