Environmental Project Manager Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a environmental project manager in Texas?
Most Texas employers require a bachelor's degree in environmental science, geology, civil engineering, or a related field, followed by several years of field or compliance experience. While Texas does not issue a dedicated environmental project manager license, many roles require familiarity with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and its permitting processes. Credentials like the Certified Hazardous Materials Manager, Professional Geoscientist registration with the Texas Board of Professional Geoscientists, or a Professional Engineer license add meaningful weight to an application.
How much do environmental project managers make in Texas?
Environmental project managers in Texas earn a median of about $129,960 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $74,200 for the lowest 10% to over $213,280 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire environmental project managers in Texas?
Employers hiring environmental project managers in Texas right now include AECOM, Burns & McDonnell, and GHD, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Texas's energy, petrochemical, and large-scale infrastructure sectors create consistent demand across both consulting firms and in-house corporate environmental teams.
Which Texas cities have the most environmental project manager jobs?
Houston, Austin, and Dallas have the most environmental project manager openings in Texas. Houston leads because of its concentration of petrochemical facilities, energy operators, and environmental consulting firms serving the Gulf Coast industrial corridor, while Dallas-Fort Worth and Austin draw demand from infrastructure growth, municipal projects, and the expanding corporate headquarters presence that requires in-house environmental compliance staff.
Are there remote environmental project manager jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're less common than in purely desk-based fields, since environmental project management regularly involves site visits, field oversight, and in-person regulatory meetings. About 69% of environmental project manager openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those positions tend to concentrate the reporting, permitting documentation, and client communication tasks that can be done off-site.
How can I get hired as a environmental project manager in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an environmental technician, field scientist, or compliance coordinator role at a Texas consulting firm or industrial operator, where hands-on site work builds the project documentation and regulatory experience employers want. Large Texas-based firms like Jacobs and Arcadis, along with TCEQ-licensed consulting shops, regularly bring on recent graduates through junior scientist or staff environmental roles. Earning your CHMM or completing coursework in TPDES stormwater compliance or Phase I site assessment methodology sharpens a resume with no direct project management history.
Where can I find and apply to environmental project manager jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to environmental project manager jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Texas openings updated regularly. Search the available roles, find the ones that fit your background and target location, and apply directly to the ones that match.
