Mechanical project engineers in Wisconsin earn a median of about $95,870 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $64,850 for the lowest 10% to over $130,360 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire mechanical project engineers in Wisconsin?
Wisconsin mechanical project engineer roles are posted by Grunau, MSA Professional Services, and SHARPE ENGINEERING and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Wisconsin's concentration of industrial manufacturers, utility companies, and engineering consultancies means openings appear across both large corporate employers and regional firms serving the Great Lakes market.
Which Wisconsin cities have the most mechanical project engineer jobs?
Oak Creek, Milwaukee, and Kiel lead Wisconsin for mechanical project engineer openings. Milwaukee drives the largest share given its density of manufacturing headquarters, engineering consultancies, and utility employers, while Madison's mix of university research, state government projects, and growing tech-adjacent industry supports consistent demand, and Green Bay's industrial base in food processing and packaging equipment adds a distinct pocket of project engineering work.
Are there remote mechanical project engineer jobs in Wisconsin?
Yes, but they're rare. About 45% of mechanical project engineer openings tied to Wisconsin are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting that most project engineering work involves site visits, equipment inspections, and coordination with on-site teams. The portions most likely to shift remote are design reviews, specification writing, and project management tasks that rely on documentation rather than physical presence.
How can I get hired as a mechanical project engineer in Wisconsin with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a new-graduate or junior engineer role at a Wisconsin industrial manufacturer or engineering consultancy, where you work under a licensed PE to build project experience. Employers like Oshkosh Corporation, Rockwell Automation, and mid-size Milwaukee-area consulting firms regularly onboard entry-level mechanical engineers into project support roles. Completing your EIT registration through the Wisconsin DSPS and developing SolidWorks or AutoCAD skills before applying gives you a measurable edge over other candidates without field experience.
