Yes, though most building engineer roles are on-site by nature.

A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts internships or co-ops toward requirements, or accepts a strong technical portfolio in place of full-time work history. Searching for openings that use terms like "junior" or "associate" is a reliable way to find roles built for candidates just starting out.
