Facilities Manager Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a facilities manager in Texas?
The most direct path is earning a bachelor's degree in facilities management, engineering, or a related field, then pursuing the Certified Facility Manager credential offered by the International Facility Management Association, which has several active Texas chapters. Texas does not require a state-issued license specifically for facilities managers, but roles in healthcare settings often require familiarity with Joint Commission environmental standards, and positions overseeing electrical or mechanical work may involve licensed tradespeople you will supervise.
How much do facilities managers make in Texas?
Facilities managers in Texas earn a median of about $99,430 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $56,960 for the lowest 10% to over $173,460 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire facilities managers in Texas?
Employers hiring facilities managers in Texas right now include Oracle, CBRE, and JLL, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Texas's concentration of large hospital systems, energy sector campuses, and commercial real estate portfolios means demand is broad and consistent throughout the state's major metros.
Which Texas cities have the most facilities manager jobs?
Dallas, Austin, and Houston have the most facilities manager openings in Texas. Houston's energy industry campuses and sprawling medical center drive heavy demand, Dallas attracts corporate headquarters and large commercial property portfolios, and Austin's rapid growth in technology and higher education has created a steady pipeline of new facilities roles across its expanding institutional and office inventory.
Are there remote facilities manager jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're rare. Facilities management is fundamentally a hands-on role tied to physical buildings, so most positions require on-site presence. About 16% of facilities manager openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those tend to cover portfolio oversight, vendor coordination, or multi-site reporting functions rather than day-to-day building operations.
How can I get hired as a facilities manager in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is a facilities coordinator or building operations assistant role, which large Texas hospital systems, university physical plant departments, and commercial property management firms hire with minimal experience. Texas Health Resources, the University of Texas system, and major property managers regularly bring in candidates from adjacent roles such as maintenance technician, property coordinator, or construction project assistant. Earning an associate-level credential from the International Facility Management Association or completing OSHA training gives applicants a concrete edge when competing for those entry roles.
Where can I find and apply to facilities manager jobs in Texas?
