Entry Level Structural Project Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get an entry level structural project engineer job?

Entry level structural project engineer roles go to candidates who can show applied technical work, so internship experience, senior capstone projects, and a portfolio of structural calculations or drawings carry real weight. Employers at this level look for familiarity with software like AutoCAD, Revit, or ETABS, a foundational grasp of load analysis and building codes, and EIT certification or an active plan to sit the FE exam.

Which companies hire entry level structural project engineers?

Companies hiring entry level structural project engineers right now include DCI Engineers, Simpson Gumpertz & Heger, and Burns & McDonnell, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a wide range of employers, including regional engineering consultancies, large multidisciplinary design firms, and construction companies with in-house structural teams.

Are there remote entry level structural project engineer jobs?

Yes, though most roles at this stage are on-site or hybrid given the hands-on nature of early-career engineering work. About 16% of entry level structural project engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, so candidates open to any work setting will have the broadest range of options to choose from.

Are these new grad structural project engineer jobs?

Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior structural project engineer roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it explicitly welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts internships or co-op placements toward the requirement, or asks for a portfolio instead of a long work history. Searching for junior or new grad alongside the role title surfaces the most relevant openings.

Which industries hire the most entry level structural project engineers?

Entry Level structural project engineer roles concentrate in Consulting & Professional Services, Construction & Real Estate, and Energy, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Those sectors drive early-career hiring because they take on high volumes of infrastructure, commercial, and residential projects that require dedicated structural support from the ground up.
