Civil Project Engineer Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a civil project engineer in Colorado?
You become a civil project engineer in Colorado by earning a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from an ABET-accredited program, then passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam to become an Engineer Intern. After gaining qualifying experience, you apply through the Colorado State Board of Licensure for Architects, Professional Engineers, and Professional Land Surveyors to take the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam and earn your Colorado PE license, which most project-level roles require or expect candidates to be actively pursuing.
How much do civil project engineers make in Colorado?
Civil project 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 project engineers in Colorado?
Colorado civil project engineer roles are posted by Jobot, CORE Consultants, and HCL Engineering & Surveying and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Colorado's active infrastructure investment and ongoing Front Range development keep a broad range of consulting firms, public agencies, and construction management companies hiring throughout the year.
Which Colorado cities have the most civil project engineer jobs?
Denver, Englewood, and Greenwood Village have the most civil project engineer openings in Colorado right now. Denver anchors the market as the state's largest metro with major transportation corridors, urban redevelopment, and water utility projects, while Colorado Springs and Fort Collins generate steady demand from municipal growth, military installation work, and the expanding northern Front Range development corridor.
Are there remote civil project engineer jobs in Colorado?
Yes, but they're rare. Civil project engineering is largely a field-adjacent and client-facing discipline that depends on site visits, agency coordination, and hands-on design review, so fully remote roles are uncommon. About 67% of civil project engineer openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those arrangements most often apply to senior design or project management tasks rather than full-time field or coordination roles.
How can I get hired as a civil project engineer in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for staff or junior civil engineer roles at Colorado consulting firms while pursuing your Engineer Intern registration through the Colorado State Board of Licensure. Large firms like AECOM, Stantec, and HDR regularly bring on new graduates into structured mentorship tracks focused on design production and project support. A strong academic portfolio of AutoCAD Civil 3D work, coursework in hydrology or transportation, and an EIT credential give early-career candidates a clear edge in Colorado's competitive but active hiring market.
