Who's Hiring


What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in roadway designer jobs.
- Proficiency in AutoCAD Civil 3D or MicroStation for roadway plan production
- Bachelor's degree in civil engineering or a closely related field
- Familiarity with AASHTO design guidelines and state DOT standards

- Knowledge of grading, horizontal and vertical alignment design, and right-of-way constraints
Tips for Your Roadway Designer Job Search
Tailor your resume to each project type
Roadway designers are hired for different deliverables: highway widening, intersection redesign, bike and pedestrian facilities, or interchange work. Pull the project type from the posting and match it to your most relevant experience so reviewers see the fit instantly.
List software versions, not just names
Employers filter hard on tools like AutoCAD Civil 3D, MicroStation, and OpenRoads Designer. Naming the version you used most recently signals you won't need a ramp-up period and separates your resume from candidates who list software without context.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists roadway designer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Highlight plan sheet production in your portfolio
If you're asked to submit work samples, include plan and profile sheets, typical section drawings, or drainage layouts rather than renderings. Hiring managers want to see that you produce construction-ready deliverables, not concept visuals.
Name the design standards you work under
Job postings often specify AASHTO, FHWA, or state DOT design manuals. Call out the standards you've applied by name on your resume so a reviewer can confirm compliance experience without digging through your project descriptions.
Prepare a design decision for the technical interview
Many roadway designer interviews include a scenario question about a drainage conflict, sight-distance constraint, or ROW limitation. Walk through one real project where you resolved a design challenge and can explain the tradeoffs you weighed, the standard you applied, and what the outcome was.
Roadway Designer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most roadway designers?
The companies hiring the most roadway designers right now include Consor, Benesch, and RK&K, with the largest share of openings in Texas, Tennessee, and Virginia, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Transportation consulting firms and state DOT contractors tend to post the highest volume of openings consistently.
How many roadway designer jobs are remote?
About 17% of roadway designer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the hands-on, coordination-heavy nature of most infrastructure projects. Tasks that lend themselves most to remote work include CAD drafting, plan review, and design calculations, while site visits, public meetings, and agency coordination typically require in-person presence.
How do you become a roadway designer?
Start with a bachelor's degree in civil engineering or civil engineering technology, with coursework in transportation, geometric design, and hydrology. Gain drafting experience through internships or entry-level roles using Civil 3D or MicroStation. Pass the Fundamentals of Engineering exam to earn your EIT credential, build a project portfolio across alignment, grading, and drainage work, and work toward your PE license as your project experience grows.
Can you get hired as a roadway designer without much experience?
Yes, many firms hire entry-level roadway designers directly from civil engineering programs, especially candidates who interned with a DOT, engineering consultancy, or municipality. Strong academic work in transportation or geometric design courses, hands-on CAD coursework, and even a senior capstone involving roadway layout can make up for limited professional experience when applying to junior designer or design technician roles.
What does the roadway designer interview process look like?
Most roadway designer interviews involve an initial screening with HR or a recruiter, followed by a technical interview with a project engineer or design manager. The technical round typically covers software proficiency, familiarity with design standards, and a scenario question about resolving a geometric or drainage constraint. Some firms request a brief work sample review or ask you to walk through a past project during the conversation.
Where can I find and apply to roadway designer jobs?
You can find and apply to roadway designer jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States in one place. Search for roles that match your experience level, preferred project type, and location, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
