Structural Project Engineer Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a structural project engineer in Massachusetts?
The path runs through the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors, which governs licensure in the state. You start with a bachelor's degree in civil or structural engineering, pass the Fundamentals of Engineering exam to become an Engineer in Training, then accumulate qualifying experience before sitting for the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam. Many Massachusetts firms hire EITs and support them through the full licensure process.
How much do structural project engineers make in Massachusetts?
Structural project engineers in Massachusetts earn a median of about $106,730 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $78,280 for the lowest 10% to over $165,590 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire structural project engineers in Massachusetts?
Employers hiring structural project engineers in Massachusetts right now include VHB, Collins Engineers, and LiRo-Hill, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Massachusetts's concentration of universities, hospitals, and transit infrastructure keeps a wide range of firms, from specialty structural consultancies to large multidisciplinary engineering companies, consistently active in the market.
Which Massachusetts cities have the most structural project engineer jobs?
Boston, Canton, and Newton have the most structural project engineer openings in Massachusetts right now. Boston and Cambridge drive the largest share due to major hospital expansions, university capital programs, and MBTA infrastructure projects, while Worcester's growing healthcare and higher education construction pipeline supports steady demand in the central part of the state.
Are there remote structural project engineer jobs in Massachusetts?
Yes, but they're rare. About 40% of structural project engineer openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting that most of the role involves site visits, coordination meetings, and hands-on document review. The parts of the work most suited to remote arrangements are analysis, modeling, and report writing rather than field observation or client-facing construction administration.
How can I get hired as a structural project engineer in Massachusetts with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for junior or EIT-level positions at mid-size structural and civil engineering firms that maintain Boston-area offices, such as consultancies supporting the MBTA, MassDOT, or university capital programs. Firms like Arup and Thornton Tomasetti regularly onboard new graduates for project support roles. A completed FE exam and a portfolio of academic or internship structural work gives candidates a meaningful edge, and many firms assist with PE exam prep once you are hired.
Where can I find and apply to structural project engineer jobs in Massachusetts?
