Environmental Project Manager Jobs in South Carolina: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a environmental project manager in South Carolina?
Most environmental project managers in South Carolina start with a bachelor's degree in environmental science, geology, engineering, or a related field, then build project experience before moving into a management role. While South Carolina does not require a single mandatory state license for the title itself, employers consistently favor candidates who hold a Professional Engineer license through the South Carolina Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors, or a Certified Hazardous Materials Manager credential. Gaining direct field experience with SCDHEC permitting processes accelerates the path considerably.
How much do environmental project managers make in South Carolina?
Environmental project managers in South Carolina earn a median of about $131,140 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $71,790 for the lowest 10% to over $225,160 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire environmental project managers in South Carolina?
Companies currently hiring environmental project managers in South Carolina include BBJ, ECS Limited, and Cretelligent, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. South Carolina's mix of heavy manufacturing, energy infrastructure, and coastal development keeps demand consistent across both large environmental consulting firms and in-house corporate environmental teams.
Which South Carolina cities have the most environmental project manager jobs?
Greer, Camden, and Lexington account for the most environmental project manager openings in South Carolina. Columbia leads because it hosts SCDHEC headquarters and a high concentration of state agency contractors, while Charleston's coastal development pressures and port expansion drive strong demand, and Greenville's industrial corridor anchors corporate environmental compliance hiring in the Upstate region.

Firms like AECOM, Terracon, and Cardno have South Carolina offices that routinely bring on recent graduates from Clemson University or the University of South Carolina's environmental programs. Earning an EIT designation through the South Carolina Board of Registration early in your career, or pursuing a CHMM credential, signals readiness for a project manager track to hiring managers across the state.
