The definition of the essential spectrum does not ask for any specific property of the operator. It is just the spectrum of the image of the operator in the Calkin algebra.
More explicitly, $\sigma_{\rm ess}(T)$ consists of those $\lambda\in\sigma(T)$ such that there exists a sequence $\{x_n\}\subset H$ with no convergent subsequence and such that $Tx_n-\lambda x_n\to0$.
Equivalently, $\lambda\in\sigma_{\rm ess}(T)$ if $T-\lambda I$ is not a Fredholm operator (this is pretty much the same as the characterization from the first paragraph).
