What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in roadway design engineer jobs.
- Bachelor's degree in civil engineering or a closely related field
- Proficiency in AutoCAD Civil 3D or Bentley OpenRoads Designer
- Experience with AASHTO design standards and state DOT design manuals
- EIT certification with progress toward or attainment of Professional Engineer licensure
- Familiarity with FHWA guidelines and local agency project delivery processes
- Experience preparing roadway plan sets including alignments, profiles, and cross sections
Tips for Your Roadway Design Engineer Job Search
Tailor your resume to project types
Hiring managers in roadway design scan for specific project experience, like interchange modifications, roundabout design, or corridor widening. Name the project type, the governing standards you used, and your deliverable in every bullet so reviewers can match your background to their pipeline instantly.
List your design software by version
OpenRoads, Civil 3D, MicroStation, and VISSIM versions matter to employers whose workflows are locked to specific releases. Listing the version you use daily signals you can contribute from day one without a retraining period that slows a project schedule.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists roadway design engineer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Highlight your EIT or PE licensure status
Many postings require an active PE or at minimum an EIT on a path to licensure. State your exam status, the state board your license is held in, and whether you hold comity registrations in additional states, since multistate project work is common in this field.
Prepare a design portfolio before interviews
Bring plan sheets, typical sections, or drainage exhibits you authored, with your contribution clearly marked. Interviewers for roadway design roles routinely ask you to walk through a set of plans, so having annotated samples ready demonstrates both technical depth and communication skills.
Negotiate scope alongside compensation
When discussing an offer, ask which project types you'll lead versus support and whether the role involves client-facing work. Roadway design engineers who clarify project autonomy upfront avoid being siloed on repetitive tasks when their goal is to build a broader design portfolio.
Roadway Design Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most roadway design engineers?
The most active employers for roadway design engineers right now are Horrocks, Consor, and AECOM, and the most openings are in North Carolina, Texas, and Florida, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand tends to be highest at civil engineering consulting firms with active state DOT contracts and at agencies managing federally funded infrastructure programs.
How many roadway design engineer jobs are remote?
About 57% of roadway design engineer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the need for in-person coordination with field teams and state agency reviewers. Sub-areas like traffic modeling, quantity takeoffs, and specification writing are most likely to accommodate remote arrangements, while plan production roles tied to active project milestones tend to require office or project-site presence.
How do you become a roadway design engineer?
Earn a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from an ABET-accredited program, then pass the Fundamentals of Engineering exam to become an Engineer in Training. Gain experience on roadway or transportation projects through internships or entry-level roles, build proficiency in design software and AASHTO standards, and work toward your Professional Engineer license by accumulating the required supervised experience hours and passing the PE exam.
How do you get hired as a roadway design engineer with little experience?
Focus on roles titled design engineer, junior transportation engineer, or EIT, which are structured for candidates still accruing PE hours. Emphasize relevant coursework, senior capstone projects involving roadway geometry or drainage design, and any internship plan sheets you contributed to. Firms with large DOT contracts hire cohorts of junior designers regularly, so targeting mid-size civil consultants with active state agency work increases your chances of landing a structured entry-level position.
What does the roadway design engineer interview process look like?
Most processes start with a recruiter or HR screen covering your background and project types, followed by a technical interview where a project manager or senior engineer walks through your design experience, software proficiency, and familiarity with applicable standards. Some firms add a plan review exercise where you mark up a set of drawings or catch errors in a typical section. Final rounds often include a conversation with a department lead focused on project delivery and client coordination experience.
Where can I find and apply to roadway design engineer jobs?
You can find and apply to roadway design engineer jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Find roles that match your experience, software skills, and preferred project type, then apply directly to each listing. New openings are added regularly, so checking back frequently gives you the best shot at catching positions early in the hiring cycle.
