Environmental Project Manager Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a environmental project manager in Arizona?
Most Arizona employers require a bachelor's degree in environmental science, geology, civil engineering, or a related field as the foundation. While Arizona does not issue a dedicated environmental project manager license, many hiring managers expect candidates to hold a Project Management Professional credential or a professional engineer registration through the Arizona State Board of Technical Registration. Gaining field experience in ADEQ-regulated remediation or permitting work accelerates advancement into project management roles.
How much do environmental project managers make in Arizona?
Environmental project managers in Arizona earn a median of about $124,920 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $65,780 for the lowest 10% to over $209,130 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire environmental project managers in Arizona?
Employers hiring environmental project managers in Arizona right now include Burns & McDonnell, Arcadis, and Canacre, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Arizona's active mining sector, large water utility infrastructure, and sustained land development pipeline give this role consistent demand across both private consulting firms and public utilities statewide.
Which Arizona cities have the most environmental project manager jobs?
Phoenix and Scottsdale have the most environmental project manager openings in Arizona. The Phoenix metro generates the highest concentration of roles through its large-scale land development, water infrastructure projects, and the regional offices of major engineering and environmental consulting firms, while Tucson's proximity to mining operations and federal land management activity drives steady demand in the southern part of the state.
Are there remote environmental project manager jobs in Arizona?
Yes, but they're rare. About 0% of environmental project manager openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the field's heavy reliance on site visits, regulatory inspections, and in-person agency coordination. The parts of the role most compatible with remote work include report writing, regulatory document preparation, and project scheduling.
How can I get hired as a environmental project manager in Arizona with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is starting as an environmental scientist or field technician with a large Arizona engineering and environmental consulting firm such as AECOM, Stantec, or Terracon, where structured project-team exposure allows progression into coordinator roles. Completing the ADEQ internship or volunteer programs and pursuing an EIT registration through the Arizona State Board of Technical Registration while building a portfolio of permitting or site assessment work gives candidates without direct management experience a measurable edge.
Where can I find and apply to environmental project manager jobs in Arizona?
