Entry Level Roadway Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level roadway engineer job?
Entry level roadway engineer employers look for a civil engineering degree or a related field, familiarity with AutoCAD or Civil 3D, and any hands-on experience from internships or senior design projects. Highlighting coursework in transportation, geometric design, or drainage gives your application a concrete edge. A capstone project or internship with a transportation agency or engineering firm often substitutes effectively for full-time experience at this stage.
Which companies hire entry level roadway engineers?
Companies hiring entry level roadway engineers right now include Volkert, Kimley-Horn, and Gresham Smith, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Hiring at this level tends to come from civil and transportation engineering consulting firms, state departments of transportation, and municipal public works agencies actively building their junior engineering pipelines.
Are there remote entry level roadway engineer jobs?
Yes, though most roadway engineering work is tied to physical project sites and field reviews. About 7% of entry level roadway engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, with hybrid arrangements most common at larger consulting firms where design and documentation tasks can be done off-site while site visits remain in person.
Are these new grad roadway engineer jobs?
Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior roadway engineer roles alongside other entry level postings. A new grad friendly posting typically welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts internships or co-op rotations toward that threshold, and accepts a strong portfolio or relevant coursework in place of extended full-time history. Look for language like "no experience required" or "recent graduates encouraged to apply" as reliable indicators.
Which industries hire the most entry level roadway engineers?
Entry Level roadway engineer roles concentrate in Consulting & Professional Services, Construction & Real Estate, and Government & Public Sector, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Those sectors drive entry level hiring because transportation infrastructure investment, road expansion projects, and municipal maintenance programs create steady demand for early-career engineers who can support design, drafting, and field inspection work under senior supervision.
