Civil Engineer Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a civil engineer in Texas?
To practice civil engineering in Texas you must earn a Professional Engineer license through the Texas Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. The path starts with an ABET-accredited bachelor's degree in civil engineering, followed by passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam to earn Engineer in Training status, then accumulating qualifying experience before sitting for the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam.
How much do civil engineers make in Texas?
Civil engineers in Texas earn a median of about $96,860 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $63,240 for the lowest 10% to over $164,330 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire civil engineers in Texas?
Employers hiring civil engineers in Texas right now include Kimley-Horn, Halff, and Westwood Professional Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Texas's scale of infrastructure investment, ongoing highway expansion under TxDOT, and large municipal utility programs keep engineering firms of all sizes actively recruiting across the state.
Which Texas cities have the most civil engineer jobs?
Houston, Austin, and Dallas have the most civil engineer openings in Texas. Houston's concentration of energy infrastructure, port expansion, and flood control projects drives the largest share of demand, while Dallas-Fort Worth's rapid population growth keeps transportation and land development pipelines full, and Austin's infrastructure build-out tied to semiconductor and tech campus construction sustains strong hiring there.
Are there remote civil engineer jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're rare. Civil engineering work is largely field- and project-site-dependent, so most roles require regular presence on-site or in a regional office. About 35% of civil engineer openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those positions tend to concentrate in project review, permitting support, and preliminary design work that can be handled off-site.
How can I get hired as a civil engineer in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to staff engineer or engineer-in-training roles at Texas-based engineering consulting firms, which routinely hire recent graduates directly from Texas A&M, UT Austin, and other in-state ABET-accredited programs. Firms like Freese and Nichols and Kimley-Horn run structured new-graduate development programs in Texas. Passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam before graduating and gaining any project exposure through internships with TxDOT or a municipal engineering department strengthens an application significantly.
Where can I find and apply to civil engineer jobs in Texas?
