A typical environmental coordinator working in Brazil brings home around 4,631 BRL a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 26,100 BRL, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 86,640 BRL for the most experienced and specialised people in the role.

The wide gap between low end and top end reflects how much pay can vary inside the same job title. A junior environmental coordinator working at a small local employer earns very different money from a senior at a multinational. Skills, employer, city and years in the seat all push the number around.


How environmental coordinator pay ranges in Brazil

A good way to think about salary in Brazil is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all environmental coordinators in Brazil earn less than 59,380 BRL a year, and the other half earn more. That middle number is the median, and it is usually more useful than the average for answering "is my pay normal here".

Looking at the quartiles fills in the picture. A quarter of earners take home less than 38,680 BRL (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 73,760 BRL (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of environmental coordinators sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 26,100 BRL. The highest stretch to 86,640 BRL, though only a small fraction of earners ever reach that level. If you are deciding whether your own offer or current pay is reasonable, work out which of those four bands you would fall into and use that as your reference point.

Environmental coordinator pay by experience in Brazil

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for an environmental coordinator in Brazil, ahead of education and almost any other single factor. The longer you have been in the role, the more your employer can trust you to handle complexity, mentor others and act independently, all of which command higher pay. The chart below shows how the typical environmental coordinator salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

  • 0-2 Years
    33,960 BRL
  • 2-5 Years
    +25% from previous
    42,320 BRL
  • 5-10 Years
    +41% from previous
    59,480 BRL
  • 10-15 Years
    +19% from previous
    70,880 BRL
  • 15-20 Years
    +11% from previous
    78,940 BRL
  • 20+ Years
    +2% from previous
    80,280 BRL

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 41%. That is the point at which a environmental coordinator typically goes from "competent in the role" to "the person other people in the team learn from", and the market pays well for that step.


Environmental coordinator pay by education in Brazil

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving environmental coordinator pay in Brazil. Higher qualifications consistently pull higher salaries, but the size of the gap tends to be smallest at junior levels and widens as people move up. Two people in the same role with the same years of experience but different degrees can end up earning very different money once they reach mid-career.

Below is the average environmental coordinator salary in Brazil broken down by the highest level of education a worker has completed.

    47,120 BRL
  • Bachelor's Degree

Environmental coordinator gender pay gap in Brazil

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Brazil is no exception. Male environmental coordinators in Brazil earn an average of 53,660 BRL a year, while female environmental coordinators earn around 58,240 BRL. That works out to a 8% gap in favour of women, even when comparing people doing the same work.

A pay gap of this size has a real long-term cost. Over a typical thirty-year career it can add up to several years of pay, and it compounds through pensions, retirement contributions and bonus-linked stock. Some of the gap is explained by women being more likely to work part-time, take career breaks, or be steered toward lower-paying specialisations. Some of it is straightforward unequal pay for the same job, which is harder to defend.

Pay raises for an environmental coordinator in Brazil
