Roadway Engineer Jobs in Ohio: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a roadway engineer in Ohio?

Becoming a roadway engineer in Ohio starts with earning a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from an ABET-accredited program, then passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam to become an Engineer-in-Training. After accumulating qualifying experience under a licensed engineer, candidates apply through the Ohio State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Surveyors to sit for the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam in the civil transportation discipline. The Professional Engineer credential is required for signing and sealing roadway plans in Ohio.

How much do roadway engineers make in Ohio?

Roadway engineers in Ohio earn a median of about $96,220 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $65,170 for the lowest 10% to over $144,620 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire roadway engineers in Ohio?

Employers hiring roadway engineers in Ohio right now include DGL Consulting Engineers, LJB, and Osborn Engineering, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Ohio's large ODOT contracting ecosystem also means regional consulting firms and county engineering offices represent a significant share of consistent openings statewide.

Which Ohio cities have the most roadway engineer jobs?

Independence, Akron, and Maumee lead Ohio for roadway engineer openings, driven by the concentration of ODOT district offices, county engineering departments, and major transportation consulting firms headquartered or regionally staffed in those metros. Columbus in particular anchors a disproportionate share of postings given its role as the state capital and the location of ODOT's central office.

Are there remote roadway engineer jobs in Ohio?

Yes, but they're rare. Roadway engineering is fundamentally a field-adjacent discipline requiring site visits, plan reviews tied to specific corridors, and coordination with public agencies that rarely accommodate fully remote arrangements. About 40% of roadway engineer openings tied to Ohio are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those tend to be in preliminary design, traffic modeling, or grant-writing roles where deliverables are document-based rather than site-dependent.

How can I get hired as a roadway engineer in Ohio with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying directly to Ohio county engineer offices or ODOT district offices, which regularly hire Engineer-in-Training candidates for design and inspection support roles. Large Ohio-based consultants such as ms consultants and Woolpert run structured internship and new-graduate programs that convert to full-time offers. Lateral moves from survey technician, construction inspector, or CAD drafter roles are common stepping stones, and holding an active Engineer-in-Training registration with the Ohio State Board gives candidates a measurable edge in competitive applicant pools.

Where can I find and apply to roadway engineer jobs in Ohio?

You can find and apply to roadway engineer jobs in Ohio on Migrate Mate, which lists current Ohio openings across consulting firms, public agencies, and municipal employers. Find the roles that fit your experience and target location, then apply directly to each one.
