Civil Engineer Jobs in Minnesota: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a civil engineer in Minnesota?

To become a licensed civil engineer in Minnesota, you must earn a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from an ABET-accredited program, pass the Fundamentals of Engineering exam to become an Engineer-in-Training, accumulate qualifying work experience under a licensed Professional Engineer, and then pass the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam. Licensure is granted and overseen by the Minnesota Board of Architecture, Engineering, Geo-Science, Landscape Architecture and Interior Design.

How much do civil engineers make in Minnesota?

Civil engineers in Minnesota earn a median of about $101,480 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $65,840 for the lowest 10% to over $159,230 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire civil engineers in Minnesota?

Companies currently hiring civil engineers in Minnesota include Stantec, Benton County, MN, and Widseth Smith Nolting, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Minnesota's concentration of municipal consulting firms, MnDOT contractors, and regional infrastructure developers makes it one of the more active states for sustained civil engineering employment.

Which Minnesota cities have the most civil engineer jobs?

Minneapolis, Minnetonka, and Foley have the most civil engineer openings in Minnesota. The Twin Cities drive the largest share of demand through regional transportation projects, utility expansion, and commercial development, while Rochester's medical campus growth and Duluth's port and freight infrastructure create steady project backlogs that support consistent hiring outside the metro.

Are there remote civil engineer jobs in Minnesota?

Yes, but they're rare. Civil engineering work is heavily site-dependent, so most roles require regular field visits, client meetings, or agency coordination in person. About 46% of civil engineer openings tied to Minnesota are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those tend to concentrate in early-phase planning, hydraulic modeling, and document production rather than construction administration or field inspection.

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

The most realistic entry path is applying directly to Minnesota's large municipal consulting firms, which regularly hire new graduates into staff engineer or design engineer roles and provide structured mentorship toward Professional Engineer licensure. Firms like WSB, Bolton and Menk, and Stantec run graduate hiring programs tied to university partnerships with the University of Minnesota and Minnesota State universities. Earning your Engineer-in-Training certification before graduating and building a portfolio of AutoCAD Civil 3D work through internships or coursework significantly strengthens a first application.

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

You can find and apply to civil engineer jobs in Minnesota on Migrate Mate, which lists current Minnesota openings across the state. Search the roles available, find the ones that match your experience and location, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
