Facilities Manager Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a facilities manager in Virginia?
Most Virginia employers require a bachelor's degree in facilities management, engineering, construction management, or a related discipline, followed by several years of hands-on operations experience. Virginia does not issue a state-specific facilities manager license, but the Certified Facility Manager credential from the International Facility Management Association is the most recognized professional standard in the state, particularly for roles tied to government or higher education campuses. Building your knowledge of the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code also strengthens your candidacy with local employers.
How much do facilities managers make in Virginia?
Facilities managers in Virginia earn a median of about $116,540 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $76,920 for the lowest 10% to over $191,310 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire facilities managers in Virginia?
Employers hiring facilities managers in Virginia right now include CBRE, Amazon, and Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Virginia's high concentration of federal agencies, defense contractors, and large health systems means demand for experienced facilities professionals remains consistent well beyond the private corporate sector.
Which Virginia cities have the most facilities manager jobs?
Sterling, Richmond, and Arlington account for the largest share of facilities manager openings in Virginia. Northern Virginia drives much of that volume through its dense network of federal agency campuses, defense contractors, and data center operators, while Richmond's healthcare systems and state government buildings sustain a steady flow of openings, and Hampton Roads benefits from substantial military installation and port infrastructure work.
Are there remote facilities manager jobs in Virginia?
Yes, but they're rare. Facilities manager roles are inherently on-site, since the work involves physical inspections, vendor oversight, and building systems that require in-person presence. About 7% of facilities manager openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those tend to be portfolio or program management positions where the administrative and reporting functions can be handled off-site.
How can I get hired as a facilities manager in Virginia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a facilities coordinator or maintenance technician role, which large Virginia employers such as Inova Health System, George Mason University, and major defense contractors regularly post as starting points. Completing an associate or bachelor's program through a Virginia community college or university with a facilities, construction, or engineering focus strengthens your application. Pursuing the Facility Management Professional credential from the International Facility Management Association signals commitment to the field and gives early-career candidates a concrete edge over applicants with no formal credentials.
