Civil Engineer Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a civil engineer in Pennsylvania?

To become a licensed civil engineer in Pennsylvania, you must earn a bachelor's degree from an ABET-accredited civil engineering program, pass the Fundamentals of Engineering exam to earn Engineer-in-Training status, accumulate qualifying work experience under a licensed Professional Engineer, and then pass the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam. Licensure is granted by the Pennsylvania State Registration Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors and Geologists.

How much do civil engineers make in Pennsylvania?

Civil engineers in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $97,850 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $67,930 for the lowest 10% to over $141,310 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire civil engineers in Pennsylvania?

Employers hiring civil engineers in Pennsylvania right now include Greenman-Pedersen, LIVIC Civil, and Michael Baker International, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Pennsylvania's infrastructure-heavy economy means engineering consulting firms, municipal authorities, and state transportation agencies are consistently among the most active hirers across the state.

Which Pennsylvania cities have the most civil engineer jobs?

Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Doylestown have the most civil engineer openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia dominates due to its scale as a major metro with ongoing transit, water, and highway projects, Pittsburgh draws heavily from industrial, bridge, and energy infrastructure work, and Harrisburg reflects sustained state government and PennDOT-related engineering activity at the capital.

Are there remote civil engineer jobs in Pennsylvania?

Yes, but they're rare. Civil engineering is largely site-dependent work involving field visits, inspections, and coordination with contractors, so fully remote roles are uncommon. About 50% of civil engineer openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those positions tend to involve planning, design review, or project management tasks that can be handled off-site.

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

The most realistic entry path is applying for a staff engineer or project engineer associate role at a Pennsylvania-based consulting firm or a municipal engineering department while you accumulate the hours needed for PE licensure. Large firms like AECOM and WSP hire recent graduates into structured rotational or development programs, and PennDOT's engineering districts offer entry-level positions that build exposure to state transportation projects. Passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam before applying gives candidates a clear credential advantage over peers without EIT status.

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

You can find and apply to civil engineer jobs in Pennsylvania on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Find roles that fit your experience and specialization and apply directly to the employers posting them.
