Structural Project Engineer Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a structural project engineer in Florida?
The path runs through the Florida Board of Professional Engineers, which governs licensure in the state. You start with a bachelor's degree in civil or structural engineering from an ABET-accredited program, then pass the FE exam to become an Engineer Intern. After gaining qualifying experience under a licensed PE, you sit for the PE exam. Most Florida firms expect candidates to be actively pursuing licensure, and some pursue the SE credential for advanced structural work.
How much do structural project engineers make in Florida?
Structural project engineers in Florida earn a median of about $98,570 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $58,640 for the lowest 10% to over $166,680 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire structural project engineers in Florida?
Employers hiring structural project engineers in Florida right now include Osborn Engineering, Thornton Tomasetti, and Ardurra, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Florida's active infrastructure investment, coastal construction market, and large public agency programs keep demand across both large engineering firms and regional specialty consultancies strong throughout the year.
Which Florida cities have the most structural project engineer jobs?
Orlando, Tampa, and Fort Lauderdale lead Florida for structural project engineer openings, driven by Miami's dense commercial and coastal construction pipeline, Tampa's transportation and port infrastructure projects, and Orlando's rapid commercial and mixed-use development tied to its growing tech and hospitality sectors.
Are there remote structural project engineer jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're rare. Structural project engineering involves hands-on site visits, coordination with contractors, and construction observation that typically require a physical presence. About 29% of structural project engineer openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those arrangements are most common for the analytical and document-production phases of a project rather than construction administration.
How can I get hired as a structural project engineer in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to large Florida-based engineering firms like AECOM, Jacobs, or Kimley-Horn, which regularly hire new graduates as engineer interns or junior structural engineers. Sitting for the FE exam before or shortly after graduation gives candidates a clear edge. Entry-level roles often come from adjacent positions in drafting or CAD support, and Florida's public agencies such as FDOT routinely partner with consulting firms that onboard recent graduates for infrastructure work.
Where can I find and apply to structural project engineer jobs in Florida?
You can find and apply to structural project engineer jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current Florida openings across commercial, infrastructure, and specialty structural roles. Find the roles that fit your background and apply directly to the employers posting them.
