The Energy Corridor and Texas Medical Center anchor significant hiring. Candidates with experience in process improvement, ERP systems, or supply chain analytics stand out locally. Tailoring your resume to industry-specific workflows, whether refinery operations or hospital capacity planning, gives you a concrete edge in Houston's market.
Which companies hire operations analysts in Houston?
Employers hiring operations analysts in Houston right now include CEVA Logistics, WM, and DSV, based on current listings on Migrate Ate as of September 2026. Houston's hiring base is broad, ranging from multinational energy corporations and large hospital networks to port logistics firms and regional financial institutions, many of which maintain dedicated operations teams.
Are there remote operations analyst jobs in Houston?

These employers regularly hire recent graduates into operations support roles. Building familiarity with tools like Excel, Tableau, or SAP and pursuing a relevant internship in Houston's energy or healthcare sector significantly improves your chances.
