Environmental Manager Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a environmental manager in Georgia?
Most environmental managers in Georgia start with a bachelor's degree in environmental science, environmental engineering, or natural resources, then build compliance or field experience under a licensed professional. Georgia does not issue a single state license for the title, but many employers require or strongly prefer certifications such as the Certified Hazardous Materials Manager credential or the Registered Environmental Manager designation. The Georgia Environmental Protection Division recognizes these credentials, and several Georgia universities offer relevant graduate programs that accelerate advancement into management roles.
How much do environmental managers make in Georgia?
Environmental managers in Georgia earn a median of about $125,000 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $67,500 for the lowest 10% to over $212,160 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire environmental managers in Georgia?
Employers hiring environmental managers in Georgia right now include Aramark, ECS Limited, and WSP, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Georgia's mix of heavy manufacturing in the Savannah port corridor, large energy utilities, and active construction development means demand for environmental compliance leadership remains broad and consistent across multiple industries statewide.
Which Georgia cities have the most environmental manager jobs?
Atlanta, Norcross, and Jesup have the most environmental manager openings in Georgia. Atlanta leads because of its concentration of corporate headquarters, construction activity, and state agency offices, while Savannah's volume reflects the port's industrial and logistics expansion, and Augusta draws openings tied to federal installations, healthcare systems, and regional manufacturing facilities.
Are there remote environmental manager jobs in Georgia?
Yes, but they're rare. Environmental management is fundamentally a field-based and site-specific role, requiring on-site inspections, permit compliance walkthroughs, and direct coordination with construction or operations teams. About 33% of environmental manager openings tied to Georgia are remote or hybrid as of September 2026. The portions of the work most likely to shift to remote arrangements are regulatory reporting, document review, and environmental impact assessment writing.
How can I get hired as a environmental manager in Georgia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an environmental specialist or compliance coordinator role at a Georgia state agency such as the Georgia Environmental Protection Division or a large industrial employer. Candidates without direct management experience often move from adjacent roles including health and safety coordinator, environmental field technician, or project engineer. Pursuing a Certified Hazardous Materials Manager credential while working in a field support role strengthens candidacy significantly, and Georgia's active construction and energy sectors regularly bring on associate-level environmental staff who grow into management positions.
Where can I find and apply to environmental manager jobs in Georgia?
You can find and apply to environmental manager jobs in Georgia on Migrate Mate, which lists current Georgia openings updated regularly. Search the listings for roles that match your experience level, specialization, and preferred location across the state, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
