Structural Project Engineer Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a structural project engineer in Colorado?
The standard path starts with a bachelor's degree in civil or structural engineering from an accredited program, followed by the Fundamentals of Engineering exam to earn an Engineer-in-Training registration through the Colorado State Board of Licensure for Architects, Professional Engineers, and Professional Land Surveyors. After accumulating qualifying experience under a licensed engineer, you take the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam to earn a Colorado Professional Engineer license, which most firms require before you carry project-level responsibility.
How much do structural project engineers make in Colorado?
Structural project engineers in Colorado earn a median of about $101,420 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $76,810 for the lowest 10% to over $165,230 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire structural project engineers in Colorado?
Colorado structural project engineer roles are posted by Galloway & Company, S. A. Miro, and KPFF Consulting Engineers and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Colorado's mix of infrastructure investment, mountain resort construction, and growing aerospace and defense campuses means both national engineering firms and regional specialty practices maintain active Colorado hiring pipelines.
Which Colorado cities have the most structural project engineer jobs?
Denver, Lakewood, and Colorado Springs account for the most structural project engineer openings in Colorado right now. Denver anchors the market as the state's largest commercial and infrastructure hub, Colorado Springs draws work tied to military installations and aerospace facilities, and Fort Collins generates demand through university campus projects and the technology corridor along the Front Range.
Are there remote structural project engineer jobs in Colorado?
Yes, but they're rare. About 100% of structural project engineer openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the hands-on site coordination and stamped drawing requirements that bring most of this work back on-site or into a local office. Analysis and design phases are the portions most likely to allow remote or hybrid arrangements within an otherwise in-person role.
How can I get hired as a structural project engineer in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to Colorado-based engineering firms that recruit new graduates through formal associate or junior engineer programs, including AECOM and Jacobs, both of which hire entry-level structural staff from Colorado State University, the University of Colorado, and Colorado School of Mines. Coming in as a CAD technician or project engineer assistant at a regional firm is a common lateral move that builds the supervised experience hours required for Colorado EIT registration and, eventually, PE licensure, which will give your application a clear edge even at the junior level.
Where can I find and apply to structural project engineer jobs in Colorado?
You can find and apply to structural project engineer jobs in Colorado on Migrate Mate, which lists current Colorado openings from employers hiring right now. Find roles that fit your experience and credentials and apply directly.
