Project Controls Analyst Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a project controls analyst in Texas?
Most Texas employers expect a bachelor's degree in engineering, construction management, or a quantitative field as the baseline. Texas does not require a state-issued license specific to project controls, but AACE International credentials such as the Certified Cost Technician or Certified Planning and Scheduling Professional are widely recognized by Houston energy firms and Dallas construction companies. Gaining experience on capital projects through internships with Texas-based EPC contractors is one of the most direct paths into the role.
How much do project controls analysts make in Texas?
Project controls analysts in Texas earn a median of about $98,440 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $57,460 for the lowest 10% to over $162,780 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire project controls analysts in Texas?
Employers hiring project controls analysts in Texas right now include Raytheon, Primoris Services Corporation, and Koch, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Texas's concentration of large-scale energy, petrochemical, and infrastructure programs means demand is consistent across both owner companies and engineering, procurement, and construction contractors headquartered in or operating extensively from Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth.
Which Texas cities have the most project controls analyst jobs?
Houston, Dallas, and McKinney have the most project controls analyst openings in Texas. Houston dominates because of its dense cluster of oil and gas operators, refineries, and EPC firms managing multibillion-dollar capital programs, while Dallas-Fort Worth draws volume from large infrastructure, telecom, and corporate construction projects, and San Antonio contributes through its active military installation support and utility construction pipeline.
Are there remote project controls analyst jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're limited, since much of the work involves on-site coordination with construction teams and real-time schedule monitoring tied to physical project progress. About 40% of project controls analyst openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions tend to focus on the reporting, forecasting, and data analysis portions of the role rather than hands-on field controls.
How can I get hired as a project controls analyst in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a project controls coordinator or cost control assistant role at a large Texas EPC contractor, where firms like Bechtel, Jacobs, and Wood routinely hire new graduates into structured rotational or training programs. Completing an AACE student membership and earning the Certified Cost Technician credential while still in school signals commitment to Texas hiring managers. Lateral moves from estimating, scheduling assistant, or field engineering positions at Texas construction and energy companies also convert well into project controls analyst roles.
Where can I find and apply to project controls analyst jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to project controls analyst jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Texas openings across Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, and other metros. Find roles that fit your experience and specialty and apply directly to the ones that match.
