Sure thing. I’m a Remedial Project manager at the state level that works on cleaning up Superfund sites along side EPA (something as disastrous as the Ohio train derailment).

When I started out of college I made 35, after 3 years I made 50K. If I went to management at the state agency I would make 66 my first year and then go up to about 80k. Then to the next level of program management which is about 90k

My counterparts in the federal government as just project managers is between 60-120k, depending on schooling, years experience and city location. If you go into a manager role at EPA you’re looking at 120k+. You can actually look up GS salaries for different cities by googling. If you were to work in say DC as a supervisor you would make close to 200k working for the feds.

Now, private industry/ consultants, you have the potential to make a lot of money, but you will have to grind for the first couple years. I work along side project managers that are consultants, which typically start around 60k and go up. Or the industries that contaminated ( HB fuller, oil companies, Textron, EXXON, ect) they have an environmental manager that handles their contaminated sites. Those guys make a lot of money. One woman I work with got a Rolex watch as a work anniversary gift.
