Project Controls Engineer Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a project controls engineer in New York?
Most project controls engineers in New York enter through a bachelor's degree in civil, mechanical, or industrial engineering, or construction management. New York does not require a state license specific to project controls, but many employers expect or prefer candidates who hold a Professional Engineer license issued through the New York State Education Department if they are in a design-adjacent role. Certifications from AACE International or PMI strengthen candidates significantly in New York's competitive public infrastructure market.
Which companies hire project controls engineers in New York?
Employers hiring project controls engineers in New York right now include Skanska, Turner & Townsend Pty Limited, and Metropolitan Transportation Authority, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. New York's large public agencies, including the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, are among the most consistent sources of project controls demand in the state.
Which New York cities have the most project controls engineer jobs?
New York, Syracuse, and Queens have the most project controls engineer openings in New York. New York City dominates the list because of its concentration of major infrastructure programs, transit expansion projects, and commercial real estate development, while Albany draws demand from state agency capital programs and Buffalo benefits from ongoing regional infrastructure investment and industrial construction activity.
Are there remote project controls engineer jobs in New York?
Yes, but they're less common than in purely analytical fields because the role often requires on-site coordination with project teams and field data collection. About 67% of project controls engineer openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of November 2026. The tasks most likely to be performed remotely are schedule analysis, cost reporting, and document control rather than hands-on site progress monitoring.
How can I get hired as a project controls engineer in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a project engineer, scheduler assistant, or cost analyst role at a large New York construction management or engineering firm such as AECOM, WSP, or Jacobs, which run structured new-graduate programs that rotate candidates through project controls functions. Lateral moves from quantity surveying, construction inspection, or project administration are common entry points. Earning an AACE International Certified Cost Technician credential or demonstrating proficiency in Primavera P6 gives candidates without direct experience a concrete edge in New York hiring.
Where can I find and apply to project controls engineer jobs in New York?
