Construction Engineer Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a construction engineer in Colorado?

Becoming a construction engineer in Colorado typically starts with a bachelor's degree in civil, structural, or construction engineering from an ABET-accredited program, followed by passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam to earn Engineer Intern status. After gaining supervised work experience, you apply to the Colorado State Board of Licensure for Architects, Professional Engineers, Professional Land Surveyors, and Geologists to sit for the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam and obtain a Professional Engineer license.

How much do construction engineers make in Colorado?

Construction 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 construction engineers in Colorado?

Companies currently hiring construction engineers in Colorado include MACKAY, Parsons, and Technologist, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Colorado's heavy investment in highway expansion, water infrastructure, and commercial development means large civil contractors and engineering firms maintain a consistent year-round presence in the state's hiring market.

Which Colorado cities have the most construction engineer jobs?

Denver, Colorado Springs, and Centennial hold the most construction engineer openings in Colorado. Denver anchors the market through its dense concentration of general contractors, infrastructure firms, and large-scale commercial developers, while Colorado Springs and Fort Collins generate strong demand from military facility projects, university campus expansions, and regional transportation improvements that draw both regional and national engineering firms.

Are there remote construction engineer jobs in Colorado?

Yes, but they're rare. Construction engineering is fundamentally a site-based role requiring physical inspections, contractor coordination, and field oversight, so fully remote positions represent a small share of openings. About 55% of construction engineer openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those tend to be design-phase, estimating, or BIM coordination roles where the work is document-driven rather than field-dependent.

How can I get hired as a construction engineer in Colorado with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying for field engineer or project engineer associate roles at large Colorado civil contractors like Kiewit or Jacobs, which run structured new-graduate programs that rotate candidates through estimating, scheduling, and site work. Candidates who have passed the Fundamentals of Engineering exam and completed a senior capstone or internship with a Colorado DOT or municipal project have a clear edge. Adjacent roles such as construction inspector, project coordinator, or CAD technician also open doors to full engineering positions within one to two years.

Where can I find and apply to construction engineer jobs in Colorado?

You can find and apply to construction engineer jobs in Colorado on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the available roles, identify the ones that match your experience and location, and apply directly to each listing that fits.
