Environmental Project Manager Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a environmental project manager in Florida?
Most environmental project managers in Florida start with a bachelor's degree in environmental science, civil engineering, or a related field, then build several years of field or consulting experience. Florida-based candidates often pursue registration as a Professional Engineer through the Florida Board of Professional Engineers or a Qualified Stormwater Management Inspector credential, both of which carry significant weight with Florida DEP and local government clients. Demonstrated experience with Florida-specific permitting processes is the clearest differentiator.
How much do environmental project managers make in Florida?
Environmental project managers in Florida earn a median of about $112,220 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $62,660 for the lowest 10% to over $216,330 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire environmental project managers in Florida?
Employers hiring environmental project managers in Florida right now include ECS Limited, AECOM, and Publix, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Florida's combination of active infrastructure development, coastal restoration projects, and strict DEP compliance requirements keeps demand steady across consulting firms, public utilities, and state agency contractors.
Which Florida cities have the most environmental project manager jobs?
Tampa, Orlando, and Pensacola have the most environmental project manager openings in Florida. Miami leads because of its dense concentration of consulting firms, port authority projects, and South Florida Water Management District work, while Tampa and Orlando generate consistent demand through infrastructure development, utilities expansion, and proximity to large engineering and construction firm offices.
Are there remote environmental project manager jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're limited. Environmental project management involves regular site visits, field assessments, and in-person agency coordination, so fully remote roles are uncommon. About 40% of environmental project manager openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, with flexibility most often applied to the reporting, compliance documentation, and client communication portions of the role.
How can I get hired as a environmental project manager in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an environmental scientist or project coordinator role at a Florida consulting firm, where exposure to permitting and site assessment work builds the foundation. Firms like AECOM, Arcadis, and Tetra Tech, which have Florida offices in Miami and Tampa, regularly bring on early-career staff from programs at University of Florida and Florida State University. Earning a Certified Associate in Project Management credential alongside any Florida DEP compliance coursework accelerates the transition to a full project management title.
Where can I find and apply to environmental project manager jobs in Florida?
