- Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from an ABET-accredited program required
- Professional Engineer license in Kansas or eligibility for reciprocity strongly preferred

Electrical Project Engineer Jobs in Kansas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a electrical project engineer in Kansas?
The standard path is a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from an ABET-accredited program, followed by gaining relevant work experience and pursuing licensure through the Kansas State Board of Technical Professions. That board administers the Fundamentals of Engineering exam for Engineer Intern status and the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam for full Professional Engineer licensure. Most employers expect or prefer a licensed PE, and Kansas accepts reciprocal licensure for engineers already licensed in other states.
How much do electrical project engineers make in Kansas?
Electrical project engineers in Kansas earn a median of about $102,630 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $72,230 for the lowest 10% to over $159,650 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire electrical project engineers in Kansas?
Companies currently hiring electrical project engineers in Kansas include P1 Construction, Bartlett & West, and Lemartec, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Kansas's mix of aerospace manufacturing in Wichita, regulated utility operations, and large industrial construction projects keeps demand for electrical project engineers broad across the private and public sectors.
Which Kansas cities have the most electrical project engineer jobs?
The cities with the most electrical project engineer openings in Kansas are Lenexa, Overland Park, and Kansas. Wichita leads because of its deep aerospace and manufacturing base, while Kansas City draws openings tied to utility infrastructure and commercial construction, and Topeka adds state government and institutional facilities projects that require dedicated engineering oversight.
Are there remote electrical project engineer jobs in Kansas?
Yes, but they're rare. Electrical project engineering is fundamentally a site-oriented role, and most Kansas positions require regular presence at construction sites, substations, or manufacturing facilities. About 0% of electrical project engineer openings tied to Kansas are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, with the remote-eligible share concentrated in early design, specification writing, and project controls work rather than field oversight.
How can I get hired as a electrical project engineer in Kansas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a junior or engineer-in-training role with a Kansas utility like Evergy or a large engineering and construction firm with Kansas offices. Many of these employers hire new graduates directly into rotational or project support roles where you assist senior engineers on active jobs. Completing your Engineer Intern exam through the Kansas State Board of Technical Professions signals seriousness and gives you a credential edge. Adjacent roles in electrical drafting, field inspection, or construction management are also common stepping stones that lead into full project engineering positions.
Where can I find and apply to electrical project engineer jobs in Kansas?
You can find and apply to electrical project engineer jobs in Kansas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Kansas openings updated regularly. Search the roles available, identify the ones that match your background and location, and apply directly through the listings.
