Civil Engineer Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a civil engineer in Georgia?
Becoming a licensed civil engineer in Georgia requires graduating from an ABET-accredited engineering program, passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam to earn Engineer-in-Training status, accumulating the required years of progressive experience under a licensed Professional Engineer, and then passing the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam. Licensure is granted by the Georgia State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors, which also handles reciprocity for engineers licensed in other states.
How much do civil engineers make in Georgia?
Civil engineers in Georgia earn a median of about $84,240 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $62,850 for the lowest 10% to over $153,690 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire civil engineers in Georgia?
Employers hiring civil engineers in Georgia right now include Thomas & Hutton, Kimley-Horn, and Stantec, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Georgia's mix of large public-sector clients like the Georgia Department of Transportation and growing private development activity means both engineering consultancies and government agencies maintain steady hiring pipelines.
Which Georgia cities have the most civil engineer jobs?
Atlanta, Savannah, and Peachtree Corners have the most civil engineer openings in Georgia. Atlanta dominates because of its scale as a regional transportation and development hub, while Savannah's port expansion and Augusta's military and municipal infrastructure projects sustain consistent demand in those markets.
Are there remote civil engineer jobs in Georgia?
Yes, but they're rare. Civil engineering is largely site-dependent work, so most roles require regular field visits, project site coordination, or in-office design collaboration. About 39% of civil engineer openings tied to Georgia are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those that are tend to cover tasks like preliminary design review, plan checking, or environmental documentation rather than active construction management.
How can I get hired as a civil engineer in Georgia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to engineering consulting firms and the Georgia Department of Transportation, both of which hire new graduates into junior engineer or project engineer associate roles. Earning your Engineer-in-Training certification before or shortly after graduation gives your application a concrete edge. Large Georgia-based consultancies and county public works departments often bring on entry-level engineers to support transportation or stormwater projects, giving you the supervised experience hours required to eventually sit for your Professional Engineer exam.
Where can I find and apply to civil engineer jobs in Georgia?
You can find and apply to civil engineer jobs in Georgia on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to Georgia employers and locations. Find roles that match your experience and specialization and apply directly to the ones that fit.
