Roadway Engineer Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a roadway engineer in Georgia?
Becoming a roadway engineer in Georgia starts with a Bachelor of Science in civil or transportation engineering from an ABET-accredited program, followed by passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam. After gaining qualifying work experience, candidates apply for licensure through the Georgia State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. A Professional Engineer license is typically required for project leadership and signing and sealing construction documents in Georgia.
How much do roadway engineers make in Georgia?
Roadway engineers in Georgia earn a median of about $84,240 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $62,850 for the lowest 10% to over $153,690 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire roadway engineers in Georgia?
Employers hiring roadway engineers in Georgia right now include Atlas Technical Consultants, Parsons, and AECOM, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Georgia's large pipeline of GDOT-funded projects and metro Atlanta growth sustain consistent demand at both large engineering consulting firms and public agencies.
Which Georgia cities have the most roadway engineer jobs?
The cities with the most roadway engineer openings in Georgia are Atlanta, Duluth, and Savannah. Atlanta dominates due to its concentration of major transportation consulting firms and proximity to GDOT headquarters, while Savannah and Augusta generate steady openings tied to port infrastructure expansion and regional highway programs respectively.
Are there remote roadway engineer jobs in Georgia?
Yes, but they're rare. Roadway engineering is largely field- and site-dependent, limiting full remote arrangements. About 25% of roadway engineer openings tied to Georgia are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those positions tend to cover tasks like design drafting, traffic analysis, and report writing rather than field inspection or construction oversight.
How can I get hired as a roadway engineer in Georgia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a junior or EIT-level position at one of the large transportation consulting firms operating in Georgia, such as those with offices supporting GDOT contracts in the Atlanta metro. Passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam and listing it on your application gives you a clear edge over candidates without it. Adjacent roles like CAD technician or transportation planning analyst are common lateral moves into roadway engineering, and Georgia's public university cooperative education programs through Georgia Tech or Georgia Southern provide structured pathways directly into firm hiring pipelines.
Where can I find and apply to roadway engineer jobs in Georgia?
You can find and apply to roadway engineer jobs in Georgia on Migrate Mate, which lists current Georgia openings across the state. Find roles that fit your experience and specialization and apply directly to the employers posting them.
