Laboratory Supervisor Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a laboratory supervisor in Texas?

Most laboratory supervisor roles in Texas require a bachelor's degree in medical laboratory science, chemistry, biology, or a closely related field, plus certification through the American Society for Clinical Pathology, the American Medical Technologists board, or an equivalent credentialing body. Texas clinical laboratories operating under CLIA follow federal certification requirements, and many employers require candidates to hold an active MLS, CLT, or specialty certification. Gaining bench experience in a relevant discipline before moving into a supervisory role is the standard path in Texas hiring.

How much do laboratory supervisors make in Texas?

Laboratory supervisors 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 laboratory supervisors in Texas?

Employers hiring laboratory supervisors in Texas right now include University Health, CommonSpirit Health, and HCA Houston Healthcare, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Texas's concentration of large health systems, petrochemical operations, and pharmaceutical manufacturers means openings appear consistently across both clinical and industrial laboratory settings throughout the state.

Which Texas cities have the most laboratory supervisor jobs?

San Antonio, Dallas, and Pasadena have the most laboratory supervisor openings in Texas. Houston leads because of its unmatched density of hospital systems within the Texas Medical Center and its large petrochemical and environmental testing industry along the Gulf Coast, while Dallas and San Antonio generate strong clinical and research laboratory demand through their major health networks and growing life sciences corridors.

Are there remote laboratory supervisor jobs in Texas?

Yes, but they're rare. Laboratory supervisor work is fundamentally hands-on, requiring direct oversight of staff, equipment, and specimens in a physical setting, which limits remote options. About 0% of laboratory supervisor openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those positions tend to involve administrative, quality assurance, or compliance oversight functions rather than direct bench supervision.

How can I get hired as a laboratory supervisor in Texas with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is starting as a medical laboratory technician or laboratory assistant at a large Texas health system and progressing into a lead or supervisory role. Major Texas health networks and institutions affiliated with the Texas Medical Center in Houston regularly hire new graduates into clinical laboratory staff roles that build the hands-on experience supervisors need. Earning an ASCP or AMT certification early strengthens a candidate's profile considerably and signals readiness for advancement in Texas lab environments.

Where can I find and apply to laboratory supervisor jobs in Texas?

You can find and apply to laboratory supervisor jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Texas openings from employers across clinical, industrial, environmental, and research settings. Find roles that fit your specialty and experience level and apply directly to the employers posting them.
