Environmental Manager Jobs in Ohio: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a environmental manager in Ohio?
Most environmental managers in Ohio start with a bachelor's degree in environmental science, geology, civil engineering, or a related field. Ohio does not require a single state license to hold the title, but roles involving engineering sign-off require a Professional Engineer license issued by the Ohio State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Surveyors. Practical credentials like the Certified Hazardous Materials Manager designation strengthen candidacy significantly and are widely recognized by Ohio industrial and consulting employers.
How much do environmental managers make in Ohio?
Environmental managers in Ohio earn a median of about $129,940 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $65,770 for the lowest 10% to over $211,540 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire environmental managers in Ohio?
Employers hiring environmental managers in Ohio right now include Healthcare Services, Burns & McDonnell, and Crothall Healthcare, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Ohio's dense concentration of refineries, chemical manufacturers, and public utilities means large industrial employers generate the most consistent openings, while environmental consulting firms serving those industries also hire regularly across the state.
Which Ohio cities have the most environmental manager jobs?
Columbus, Cincinnati, and Akron are the Ohio cities with the most environmental manager openings. Columbus draws demand from state agency compliance work and a growing manufacturing corridor, Cleveland benefits from its legacy industrial base and the dense cluster of petrochemical and steel operations along Lake Erie, and Cincinnati's concentration of consumer goods manufacturers and chemical companies keeps environmental compliance hiring active throughout the metro.
Are there remote environmental manager jobs in Ohio?
Yes, but they're rare. Environmental management is largely a field-based role requiring site visits, permit inspections, and direct regulatory agency interaction, which limits remote work options significantly. About 15% of environmental manager openings tied to Ohio are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions tend to cover program oversight, reporting, and policy work rather than hands-on compliance or remediation responsibilities.
How can I get hired as a environmental manager in Ohio with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an environmental specialist or environmental analyst role at a consulting firm or large industrial employer in Ohio, where you build compliance and field skills before moving into management. Companies like ARCADIS, Stantec, and Bureau Veritas operating in Ohio regularly bring on early-career candidates for field support roles. Pursuing a CHMM credential while in an entry role signals commitment and accelerates the path to a management title, and Ohio EPA internship programs offer direct exposure to the regulatory processes managers navigate daily.
Where can I find and apply to environmental manager jobs in Ohio?
