Structural Designer Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a structural designer in Texas?

Most structural designers in Texas enter the field with a bachelor's degree in civil or structural engineering and begin working toward licensure through the Texas Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. The standard path involves passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam to earn EIT status, accumulating supervised experience, and then sitting for the Professional Engineer exam. While the PE is not always required for a designer title, it significantly broadens your opportunities with Texas engineering firms.

How much do structural designers make in Texas?

Structural designers 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 structural designers in Texas?

Employers hiring structural designers in Texas right now include Consor Engineers, Fluor, and Audubon Companies, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Texas's concentration of energy infrastructure, commercial development, and large-scale industrial projects keeps a wide range of engineering and design firms actively staffed across the state.

Which Texas cities have the most structural designer jobs?

Houston, Dallas, and Austin have the most structural designer openings in Texas. Houston leads because of its dense concentration of petrochemical and industrial facilities, while Dallas drives demand through commercial real estate and infrastructure projects, and San Antonio's steady growth in institutional and government construction keeps hiring active there as well.

Are there remote structural designer jobs in Texas?

Yes, but they are less common than in purely analytical fields because structural design frequently requires site visits, coordination meetings, and hands-on document review. About 14% of structural designer openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, with fully remote arrangements most often available for experienced designers working on production-phase drawing tasks rather than early design or field-coordination roles.

How can I get hired as a structural designer in Texas with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying for junior designer or EIT positions at mid-size Texas engineering firms, where structured mentorship under a licensed PE is standard. Large Texas-based firms like Jacobs and Burns & McDonnell run new-graduate development programs that rotate candidates through project types. Candidates who have passed the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, built a portfolio of coursework or personal design projects, and hold an internship from a Texas firm stand out most in a competitive applicant pool.

Where can I find and apply to structural designer jobs in Texas?
