Professional Engineer Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a professional engineer in Florida?

You become a licensed professional engineer in Florida by passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, gaining qualifying engineering experience, and then passing the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam administered through the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying. Licensure is issued by the Florida Board of Professional Engineers, which operates under the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. A bachelor's degree in an accredited engineering program is required to begin the process.

How much do professional engineers make in Florida?

Professional engineers in Florida earn a median of about $98,570 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $58,640 for the lowest 10% to over $166,680 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire professional engineers in Florida?

Companies currently hiring professional engineers in Florida include CPH, CEMEX, and Northrop Grumman, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Florida's large transportation, water utility, and coastal infrastructure programs keep demand from both private engineering firms and state agency contractors consistently high.

Which Florida cities have the most professional engineer jobs?

Tampa, West Palm Beach, and Miami have the most professional engineer openings in Florida. Orlando's concentration of aerospace, transportation, and defense contractors, Tampa's civil and water infrastructure programs, and Miami's coastal development and urban transit projects together account for the majority of openings, while smaller markets like Jacksonville and Fort Lauderdale add steady volume from port and public works projects.

Are there remote professional engineer jobs in Florida?

Yes, but they're rare. About 22% of professional engineer openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting the field's strong reliance on site visits, field inspections, and sealed document submissions that require physical presence. The work most likely to shift to remote or hybrid involves design review, drafting, and project management coordination for established clients rather than field or inspection roles.

How can I get hired as a professional engineer in Florida with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is to join a large Florida engineering firm or state agency as an Engineer Intern after passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam while still in school. Firms such as AECOM, Jacobs, and Atkins actively recruit new graduates for entry-level positions supporting licensed PEs on transportation and water projects. The Florida Department of Transportation and county public works departments also hire Engineer Intern candidates, and candidates who already hold an EI designation from the Florida Board of Professional Engineers move noticeably faster through the hiring process.

Where can I find and apply to professional engineer jobs in Florida?

You can find and apply to professional engineer jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current Florida openings updated regularly. Search the roles available, find the positions that fit your experience and specialty, and apply directly to the ones that match. No sign-up is needed to see the listings.
