Commissioning Engineer Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a commissioning engineer in Colorado?
The standard path in Colorado begins with a bachelor's degree in mechanical, electrical, or systems engineering, followed by field experience under a licensed Professional Engineer. Colorado licensure is granted by the Colorado State Board of Licensure for Engineers and Professional Land Surveyors after passing the Fundamentals of Engineering and Principles and Practice of Engineering exams. Many employers also expect a Certified Commissioning Professional credential from the AABC Commissioning Group or the Building Commissioning Association alongside the PE.
How much do commissioning engineers make in Colorado?
Commissioning engineers in Colorado earn a median of about $132,590 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $75,900 for the lowest 10% to over $195,190 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire commissioning engineers in Colorado?
Employers hiring commissioning engineers in Colorado right now include EPS, Voltyx, and Xcel Energy, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Colorado's dense commercial construction activity along the Front Range and its large federal and defense infrastructure in Colorado Springs keep commissioning demand steady across both private and government-contract work.
Which Colorado cities have the most commissioning engineer jobs?
Englewood, Golden, and Boulder consistently post the most commissioning engineer openings in Colorado. Denver drives volume through its commercial real estate boom, large hospital construction, and corporate campus projects, while Colorado Springs benefits from its concentration of defense contractors and federal facilities, and Boulder attracts openings tied to research institutions, cleantech firms, and energy-efficient building projects.
Are there remote commissioning engineer jobs in Colorado?
Yes, but they're rare. Commissioning work is fundamentally hands-on and site-based, requiring physical verification of equipment and systems, so most roles require regular on-site presence. About 33% of commissioning engineer openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions typically cover design review, documentation, or project management tasks rather than functional testing.
How can I get hired as a commissioning engineer in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is a commissioning technician or building automation technician role, which large Colorado employers such as Jacobs, Johnson Controls, and regional mechanical contractors use to develop junior talent. Community college programs at institutions like Emily Griffith Technical College in Denver offer HVAC and controls coursework that Colorado employers recognize. Holding an Engineer-in-Training certificate from the Colorado State Board of Licensure signals progress toward licensure and gives candidates a concrete edge over other applicants without field hours.
