INTRODUCTION
The APEX Power Co. Project in Hubbard, TX, currently under Phase 1 construction, is expected to expand to 1.6 GW. It features a diverse mix of generation technologies, including Siemens SGT-800/400 simple cycle turbines, MAN/Everllence 18V51/60G gas reciprocating engines, GE LM6000/LM2500 simple cycle turbines, Pratt & Whitney FT8 simple cycle turbines, and a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), enabling flexible, reliable power output. Future expansion may include additional GE aero and large frame units (6B, 7FA/7FB/7H) in simple or combined cycle configurations, allowing the plant to efficiently meet varying energy demands while supporting data center grid reliability.
Opportunity Summary
The Environmental Manager at the APEX Power Co. Project will lead pre-commissioning environmental activities to ensure all permits, regulatory approvals, and compliance systems are in place for safe, reliable plant start-up. This role will oversee environmental risk management, monitoring, audits, and contractor compliance for the facility’s turbines, reciprocating engines, and battery energy storage systems. Once operational, the Environmental Manager will maintain regulatory compliance, lead inspections, manage reporting, and drive sustainability initiatives to support the plant’s safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible operation.
As Environmental Manager, your responsibilities specific to the Pre-Commissioning Phase include the following functions:
- Verify that all environmental permits, notifications, and regulatory approvals required for the facility’s commercial operation are in place, approved, and ready prior to start-up, including those related to air, water, waste, chemical, and stormwater programs.
- Identify potential environmental risks during commissioning, develop mitigation measures, and implement controls to prevent spills, discharges, or other environmental incidents during testing and start-up.
- Conduct environmental site inspections and internal audits to verify compliance with SPCC/FRP, SWPPP, and other pre-commissioning environmental requirements.
- Ensure construction and commissioning contractors follow environmental policies and procedures during equipment installation, testing, and start-up activities.
- Oversee environmental monitoring (emissions, stormwater, and wastewater) during turbine, engine, and BESS start-up tests and temporary operations to demonstrate regulatory compliance before commercial operation.
- Establish EMS records, compliance plans, and reporting templates for operational readiness, ensuring all systems, equipment, and monitoring programs are prepared for transition to full operations.
- Provide environmental awareness training to commissioning engineers, operators, and contractors, and coordinate environmental requirements with operations and safety teams during pre-commissioning.
Your scope of responsibility as Environmental Manager includes the following primary functions:
- Coordinate, oversee, and implement daily multi-media environmental programs, policies, and procedures to ensure compliance with federal, state, and site-specific permit requirements.
- Ensure timely completion of Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS) reporting in accordance with Title V permit requirements enforced by DEQ and EPA.
- Monitor and report on all regulated media (air, water, waste, and chemicals), including sampling, analysis, and submission of monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual regulatory reports to DEQ, EPA, and other relevant agencies.
- Maintain multi-media environmental compliance plans and the Environmental Management System (EMS) filing system, including SPCC/FRP, SWPPP, and CEMS QA/QC programs.
- Lead regulatory inspections, coordinate site visits, respond to information requests, and support permit modifications, renewals, and environmental impact assessments for facility expansions or technology additions.
- Conduct internal environmental audits, risk assessments, and preventative measures to identify and mitigate potential compliance issues.
- Oversee contractor and vendor environmental compliance across all plant activities, including construction, maintenance, and operations.
- Manage environmental incident response, including spill containment, emissions excursions, and reporting to regulatory agencies as required.
- Conduct EHS and environmental training for all plant personnel and promote awareness of environmental responsibilities.
- Support sustainability initiatives, emissions reduction programs, and other energy-sector environmental improvement efforts.

Environmental Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a environmental in Texas?
Most environmental positions in Texas require at least a bachelor's degree in environmental science, geology, engineering, or a closely related field. Roles involving subsurface investigation or geologic assessment may require licensure as a Professional Geoscientist through the Texas Board of Professional Geoscientists. Many employers also expect familiarity with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, which oversees permitting and compliance in the state. Certifications like CHMM or CPEA strengthen your candidacy significantly.
Which companies hire environmentals in Texas?
Employers hiring environmentals in Texas right now include Garver, Terracon Consultants, and GSI Environmental, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Texas's oil and gas industry, large industrial manufacturers, and environmental consulting firms generate consistent demand for environmental professionals at multiple levels.
Which Texas cities have the most environmental jobs?
Houston, Austin, and Dallas have the most environmental job openings in Texas. Houston dominates due to its concentration of petrochemical, refining, and energy companies that maintain large in-house environmental compliance teams, while Dallas and Austin draw demand from consulting firms, municipal agencies, and a growing base of industrial and technology employers requiring permitting and remediation expertise.
Are there remote environmental jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're rare. Environmental work is largely field- and site-dependent, so most roles require regular on-site presence for sampling, inspections, or client visits. About 11% of environmental openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, with remote work most common in data analysis, compliance reporting, and environmental consulting roles that are documentation-heavy rather than fieldwork-driven.
How can I get hired as a environmental in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an environmental technician or field sampler role, which large Texas consulting firms like TRC, Terracon, and Arcadis hire for without requiring prior professional experience. Completing an internship with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality or a municipal environmental department adds credibility. A degree in environmental science or geology combined with a HAZWOPER certification gives candidates a clear edge when applying for these ground-level positions.
Where can I find and apply to environmental jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to environmental jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Texas openings across industries, experience levels, and metro areas. Find roles that fit your background and apply directly to each one.
