Roadway Engineer Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a roadway engineer in Texas?

Becoming a roadway engineer in Texas requires a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from an ABET-accredited program, followed by passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam to earn your Engineer-in-Training credential. After gaining qualifying work experience, you apply for full Professional Engineer licensure through the Texas Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. Most Texas employers, including TxDOT and large consulting firms, expect candidates to be actively pursuing or already holding a PE license.

How much do roadway engineers make in Texas?

Roadway engineers in Texas earn a median of about $96,860 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $63,240 for the lowest 10% to over $164,330 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire roadway engineers in Texas?

Employers hiring roadway engineers in Texas right now include CONSOR Engineers, Stv, and Langan Engineering and Environmental Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Texas's scale of ongoing highway expansion and municipal growth means large engineering consultancies and state agencies maintain continuous recruitment pipelines rather than hiring only for specific project openings.

Which Texas cities have the most roadway engineer jobs?

Houston, Dallas, and Austin have the most roadway engineer openings in Texas right now. Houston and Dallas lead because of their scale of freeway expansion and regional mobility authority projects, while Austin's sustained population growth drives continuous demand from both TxDOT's district offices and private consulting firms managing corridor and interchange work throughout the metro.

Are there remote roadway engineer jobs in Texas?

Yes, but they're rare. Roadway engineering is a fundamentally site-connected discipline, so most roles require on-site presence for field reviews, project meetings, and agency coordination. About 55% of roadway engineer openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, and those positions tend to concentrate in preliminary design, traffic analysis, and report writing rather than construction phase or inspection work.

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

The most realistic entry path is applying directly to TxDOT's Transportation Engineer I program, which is designed for recent graduates and does not require prior professional experience. Large consulting firms like Kimley-Horn and AECOM also run structured new-graduate hiring cycles tied to their Texas offices each spring. Earning your EIT certification before applying and building a portfolio of relevant coursework or capstone projects in highway or drainage design strengthens any entry-level application considerably.

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

You can find and apply to roadway engineer jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Find roles that match your experience and location, then apply directly to each employer through the listing.
