Civil Engineer Jobs in Alabama: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a civil engineer in Alabama?

You become a civil engineer in Alabama by earning an ABET-accredited bachelor's degree in civil engineering, then passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam to earn your Engineer in Training designation through the Alabama State Board of Licensure for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. After gaining qualifying work experience under a licensed PE, you pass the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam to earn full Professional Engineer licensure in Alabama.

How much do civil engineers make in Alabama?

Civil engineers in Alabama earn a median of about $99,010 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $63,930 for the lowest 10% to over $168,370 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire civil engineers in Alabama?

Alabama civil engineer roles are posted by LaBella Associates, TTL, and Kimley-Horn and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Alabama's mix of state DOT work, federal defense contracts at Redstone Arsenal, and port infrastructure in Mobile keeps a wide range of firms actively hiring across the state.

Which Alabama cities have the most civil engineer jobs?

Birmingham, Mobile, and Daphne have the most civil engineer openings in Alabama right now. Birmingham anchors demand through its large municipal government, regional highway projects, and established engineering firm offices, while Huntsville's federal defense and aerospace corridor generates consistent infrastructure and facilities work, and Mobile's port and coastal development activity supports ongoing transportation and structural hiring.

Are there remote civil engineer jobs in Alabama?

Yes, but they're rare. About 30% of civil engineer openings tied to Alabama are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting how site-dependent most civil engineering work is by nature. The roles most likely to offer remote flexibility are those focused on report writing, design review, or preliminary planning rather than construction observation or field inspection.

How can I get hired as a civil engineer in Alabama with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying to Engineer in Training or junior engineer roles at ALDOT regional offices or large firms like Volkert, Arcadis, or Burns and McDonnell, which regularly bring on new graduates for transportation and water resources projects. Earning your EIT credential through the Alabama State Board before you apply gives you a concrete edge over candidates who haven't yet. Internships or co-ops completed during school with any of these employers often convert to full-time offers.

Where can I find and apply to civil engineer jobs in Alabama?
