Civil Engineer Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a civil engineer in Colorado?
You become a licensed civil engineer in Colorado by earning an ABET-accredited bachelor's degree in civil engineering, passing the FE exam to become an Engineer in Training, gaining qualifying work experience under a licensed PE, and then passing the PE exam administered through the Colorado State Board of Licensure for Architects, Professional Engineers and Professional Land Surveyors. Most Colorado employers require or strongly prefer active PE licensure for project-of-record and client-facing roles.
How much do civil engineers make in Colorado?
Civil engineers in Colorado earn a median of about $101,420 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $76,810 for the lowest 10% to over $165,230 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire civil engineers in Colorado?
Companies currently hiring civil engineers in Colorado include US Federal Highway Administration, Martin-Martin, and Westwood Professional Services, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Colorado's strong mix of state agency work, municipal infrastructure projects, and private development keeps both large engineering consultancies and public sector employers consistently active in the market.
Which Colorado cities have the most civil engineer jobs?
Denver, Lakewood, and Loveland account for the largest share of civil engineer openings in Colorado. Denver leads because of its density of CDOT headquarters operations, regional consultancies, and large-scale transit and development projects, while Colorado Springs and Fort Collins generate steady demand through military installation support, municipal growth, and university-adjacent infrastructure work.
Are there remote civil engineer jobs in Colorado?
Yes, but they're rare. Civil engineering is largely a site-dependent and client-facing discipline, so fully remote roles are the exception rather than the rule. About 53% of civil engineer openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions typically involve planning, study-phase design, or document review work that can be completed off-site.
How can I get hired as a civil engineer in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to engineering consultancies and public agencies in Colorado that hire at the EIT or engineer-in-training level. Firms like Stantec, Jacobs, and WSP regularly bring on new graduates for staff engineer roles in Denver and Fort Collins, and CDOT runs a structured new-professional program for entry-level hires. Completing your FE exam before applying gives you a measurable edge, and internship experience through Colorado universities' cooperative programs is recognized by most regional employers as equivalent to early professional experience.
Where can I find and apply to civil engineer jobs in Colorado?
