Entry Level Highway Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get an entry level highway engineer job?

Focus on showcasing internship experience, senior design projects, or coursework in transportation planning, pavement design, or traffic engineering. Employers at this level look for familiarity with AutoCAD, Civil 3D, or similar design software, plus foundational knowledge of AASHTO standards. An EIT certification strengthens your application, and applying to government agencies and engineering consulting firms is a practical starting point.

About 0% of entry level highway engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, and those roles typically involve CAD drafting, data analysis, or traffic modeling tasks that can be handled off-site.

Are these new grad highway engineer jobs?
