Entry Level Traffic Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level traffic engineer job?
Entry level traffic engineer roles typically look for a degree in civil or transportation engineering, familiarity with traffic modeling software such as Synchro or HCS, and any hands-on exposure from internships or capstone projects. Candidates who can show field data collection experience, a working knowledge of the Highway Capacity Manual, or coursework in signal timing design tend to stand out at this stage.
Which companies hire entry level traffic engineers?
Companies hiring entry level traffic engineers right now include WSP, CTL Engineering, and CRAWFORD, MURPHY & TILLY, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Municipal transportation agencies, regional planning firms, and engineering consultancies focused on roadway design and safety studies are among the most consistent employers at this level.
Are there remote entry level traffic engineer jobs?
Yes, though most traffic engineer roles at the entry level involve some fieldwork or office collaboration. About 10% of entry level traffic engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, meaning fully remote positions exist but on-site and hybrid arrangements remain the most common setup for early-career candidates in this field.
Are these new grad traffic engineer jobs?
Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior traffic engineer roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts internships or co-op work in lieu of full-time history, or invites candidates to submit a portfolio of academic transportation projects alongside a resume rather than requiring a long professional record.
Which industries hire the most entry level traffic engineers?
Entry Level traffic engineer roles concentrate in Consulting & Professional Services, Construction & Real Estate, and Government & Public Sector, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Those sectors drive the most early-career hiring because infrastructure investment, urban growth planning, and government-funded roadway safety programs consistently create demand for junior engineers who can support traffic impact studies and signal design work.
