Roadway Engineer Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a roadway engineer in Florida?

After gaining qualifying work experience under a licensed PE, you sit for the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam to obtain your Florida Professional Engineer license, which is required for signing and sealing roadway design documents on public projects.
How much do roadway engineers make in Florida?
Roadway engineers in Florida earn a median of about $98,570 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $58,640 for the lowest 10% to over $166,680 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire roadway engineers in Florida?
Employers hiring roadway engineers in Florida right now include Parsons, Kimley-Horn, and Keith, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Florida's transportation agency, FDOT, along with large engineering consultancies supporting state and county infrastructure programs, are among the most consistent sources of openings across the state.
Which Florida cities have the most roadway engineer jobs?
Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville have the most roadway engineer openings in Florida right now. Tampa and Orlando drive volume through major interchange reconstruction and regional growth projects managed by FDOT districts, while Miami's density of infrastructure consultancies and ongoing urban mobility investments generates consistent demand for engineers at all experience levels.
Are there remote roadway engineer jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're rare. Roadway engineering is largely field-oriented and design-production work that requires coordination with project teams, agencies, and construction sites, so fully remote roles are limited. About 40% of roadway engineer openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those positions tend to concentrate in tasks like preliminary design, plan review, and grant writing that can be done away from the office.
How can I get hired as a roadway engineer in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to engineering intern or EIT roles at FDOT district offices or large Florida-based consultancies like Kimley-Horn, RS&H, or Atkins, which regularly bring on new graduates for plan production and field support. A passing score on the Fundamentals of Engineering exam strengthens any application. Candidates from adjacent roles in surveying, construction inspection, or civil site design can also move into roadway engineering by targeting firms that handle both site and transportation work.
