What Employers Look For

The qualifications that appear most often in roadway engineer jobs.

  • Bachelor's degree in civil engineering or a closely related field
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD Civil 3D, MicroStation, or comparable roadway design software
  • Familiarity with AASHTO design standards and state DOT design manuals
  • Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification or Professional Engineer (PE) license
  • Experience preparing roadway construction plans, profiles, and cross-sections
  • Knowledge of traffic analysis, pavement design, or stormwater drainage principles

Tips for Your Roadway Engineer Job Search

Tailor your resume to project delivery

Hiring managers in roadway engineering scan for specific project types you've delivered. Call out road classifications, design software, and whether projects were federally funded, locally funded, or design-build, because those distinctions signal fit immediately.

Apply early to roles that fit

Migrate Mate lists roadway engineer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.

List software versions and standards explicitly

Recruiters filter by tools, so name the exact software you've used, such as AutoCAD Civil 3D, MicroStation, or OpenRoads, alongside the AASHTO or state DOT design standards you've applied. Vague entries like 'CAD proficient' get screened out.

Target agencies by their active project pipeline

State DOTs, MPOs, and large engineering consultancies cycle hiring around funded projects. Search agency websites and procurement portals to find which corridor or infrastructure programs are in design phases, then apply to firms contracted on those projects.

Prepare a technical portfolio before your interview

Roadway engineering interviews frequently include plan-review exercises or design-scenario questions. Bring redlined drawings, exhibit sheets, or a project summary that shows your calculation approach and how you resolved a real geometric or drainage constraint.

Negotiate scope of work, not just compensation

Once you have an offer, ask which project types you'll be assigned to in your first year. A role with varied roadway typologies, federal-aid projects, and client-facing responsibilities builds licensure hours and promotion eligibility faster than a single-task posting.

Roadway Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

Which companies are hiring the most roadway engineers?

The companies hiring the most roadway engineers right now include Parsons, Kimley-Horn, and Whitman, Requardt & Associates, LLP, with the largest share of openings in Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Large engineering consultancies and state transportation departments typically account for the majority of active postings.

How many roadway engineer jobs are remote?

About 45% of roadway engineer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how field-dependent most roadway roles are. Sub-disciplines such as traffic modeling, planning support, and constructability review tend to offer the most remote flexibility, while design engineers tied to active construction projects are almost always required on-site or in the office.

How do you become a roadway engineer?

Earn a bachelor's degree in civil engineering accredited by ABET, then pass the Fundamentals of Engineering exam to become an Engineer-in-Training. Work under a licensed PE accumulating qualifying experience in roadway design or traffic engineering, then pass the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam to obtain your PE license, which most senior and lead roles require.

Can you get hired as a roadway engineer with little experience?

Yes, many firms and public agencies hire roadway engineers at the EIT or junior-engineer level and expect to train them on project-specific standards. Internship experience at a DOT or engineering consultancy is the strongest substitute for full-time experience, and candidates who can show completed coursework in geometric design, pavement, or transportation engineering move through screening faster than those with only general civil engineering backgrounds.

What does the roadway engineer interview process look like?

Most roadway engineering interviews begin with a phone or video screen focused on your software proficiency and project background, followed by a technical round where you may be asked to walk through a design decision, read a plan sheet, or solve a basic geometric or drainage problem. A final round with a project manager or department head typically covers your experience with DOT standards, client communication, and how you've handled design conflicts in the field.

Where can I find and apply to roadway engineer jobs?

You can find and apply to roadway engineer jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States in one place. Search the listings for roles that match your experience level and specialization, then apply directly to each one that fits.
