Construction Project Engineer Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a construction project engineer in Massachusetts?

Most construction project engineer roles in Massachusetts require a bachelor's degree in civil engineering, construction management, or a related field. Engineers pursuing licensure register as an Engineer-in-Training through the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Professional Engineers after passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, then work toward full Professional Engineer licensure. Many candidates begin in field engineer or assistant project engineer roles with general contractors or owners' project managers active in the Boston metro.

How much do construction project engineers make in Massachusetts?

Construction project engineers in Massachusetts earn a median of about $106,730 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $78,280 for the lowest 10% to over $165,590 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire construction project engineers in Massachusetts?

Employers hiring construction project engineers in Massachusetts right now include Structural, Bohler, and Skanska, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Massachusetts's concentration of life sciences campuses, major hospital systems, and public infrastructure programs means demand comes from both national general contractors with local offices and large institutional owners managing their own capital construction programs.

Which Massachusetts cities have the most construction project engineer jobs?

The cities with the most construction project engineer openings in Massachusetts are Chestnut Hill, Boston, and Westborough. Boston and Cambridge anchor the market because of the density of life sciences developments, academic medical center expansions, and transit infrastructure investment there, while Worcester draws volume from its growing biotech and healthcare construction pipeline and its role as a hub for central Massachusetts regional projects.

Are there remote construction project engineer jobs in Massachusetts?

Yes, but they're rare. About 0% of construction project engineer openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting the fundamentally site-based nature of the role. The portions of the work most suited to remote arrangements are document control, submittal review, scheduling updates, and owner reporting, while field coordination, site walks, and subcontractor meetings require in-person presence.

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

The most realistic entry path is a new-graduate field engineer or project engineer associate role with a general contractor that runs structured rotational programs, such as the early-career programs offered by large Massachusetts-based contractors and institutional construction management firms. Internships during school that include site exposure carry significant weight. Adjacent roles like scheduler's assistant, document control coordinator, or construction inspector give candidates a foothold. Passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam before graduating gives applicants a concrete credential that differentiates them immediately.
