Traffic Engineer Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a traffic engineer in Pennsylvania?

Becoming a traffic engineer in Pennsylvania starts with an ABET-accredited bachelor's degree in civil or transportation engineering, followed by passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam to earn an Engineer-in-Training credential. After accumulating the required years of supervised experience, you apply to the Pennsylvania State Registration Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors and Geologists to sit for the PE exam. Most Pennsylvania employers require or strongly prefer a PE license for independent project work.

How much do traffic engineers make in Pennsylvania?

Traffic engineers in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $97,850 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $67,930 for the lowest 10% to over $141,310 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire traffic engineers in Pennsylvania?

Employers hiring traffic engineers in Pennsylvania right now include RETTEW, GAI Consultants, and Greenman-Pedersen, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Pennsylvania's dense network of municipal governments, county planning agencies, and large engineering consultancies serving PennDOT creates steady demand well beyond any single employer.

Which Pennsylvania cities have the most traffic engineer jobs?

Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and York have the most traffic engineer openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia leads because of its scale as a major metropolitan area with active SEPTA, DVRPC, and PennDOT District 6 projects, while Pittsburgh draws demand from its bridge rehabilitation programs and Allegheny County infrastructure work, and Harrisburg concentrates openings around PennDOT's central office and state government contracting activity.

Are there remote traffic engineer jobs in Pennsylvania?

Yes, but they're rare. About 70% of traffic engineer openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the field's reliance on site visits, field data collection, and in-person coordination with municipal clients. The tasks most compatible with remote work are traffic modeling, report writing, and signal timing plan development that can be completed entirely through software.

How can I get hired as a traffic engineer in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying for a junior or associate engineer role at a Pennsylvania engineering consultancy or with PennDOT through its civil service hiring process. Large consultancies with Pennsylvania offices routinely bring on new graduates into structured internship-to-hire pipelines. Passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam before applying gives an immediate edge, and candidates who have coursework or internship exposure to Synchro or traffic count data collection stand out. County planning agencies across Pennsylvania also hire entry-level transportation planners who transition into traffic engineering roles over time.

Where can I find and apply to traffic engineer jobs in Pennsylvania?
