Mechanical Project Engineer Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a mechanical project engineer in Florida?
The concrete path starts with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from an ABET-accredited program. Florida requires licensure through the Florida Board of Professional Engineers for engineers signing and sealing documents, but many project engineering roles hire without a license if you are working under a licensed PE. Passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam and accumulating four years of experience then allows you to sit for the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam and become a licensed PE in Florida.
How much do mechanical project engineers make in Florida?
Mechanical project engineers in Florida earn a median of about $99,980 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $66,260 for the lowest 10% to over $153,950 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire mechanical project engineers in Florida?
Employers hiring mechanical project engineers in Florida right now include TLC Engineering Solutions, M2E, and BCH Mechanical, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Florida's concentration of aerospace, defense, and large infrastructure contractors means many of the most active openings are tied to long-term government and commercial programs with sustained hiring needs.
Which Florida cities have the most mechanical project engineer jobs?
Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville are the Florida cities with the most mechanical project engineer openings. Orlando leads because of its dense aerospace and defense corridor anchored by major contractors, while Tampa draws from shipbuilding, manufacturing, and infrastructure project activity, and Miami reflects demand tied to large commercial construction and industrial facilities serving South Florida's growing economy.
Are there remote mechanical project engineer jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're rare. Mechanical project engineering is inherently site- and hardware-focused, so most roles require regular on-site presence for inspections, vendor coordination, and team oversight. About 25% of mechanical project engineer openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those that are remote tend to concentrate on planning, design review, and documentation phases rather than active construction or commissioning work.
How can I get hired as a mechanical project engineer in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for associate or junior project engineer roles at Florida's large defense and aerospace contractors, which run structured new-graduate programs. Companies like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon Technologies in the Orlando corridor regularly bring in engineers directly from school. Starting as a design engineer, field engineer, or CAD technician at a Florida mechanical or MEP firm is a common lateral move. Passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam early and building a project portfolio through internships or capstone work gives candidates a clear edge.
Where can I find and apply to mechanical project engineer jobs in Florida?
