Transportation Engineer Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a transportation engineer in Florida?
Becoming a transportation engineer in Florida starts with a bachelor's degree in civil or transportation engineering from an ABET-accredited program, followed by passing the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam to earn an Engineer Intern designation through the Florida Board of Professional Engineers. After gaining qualifying work experience, candidates sit for the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam to obtain full Florida PE licensure, which most senior roles require.
How much do transportation engineers make in Florida?
Transportation 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 transportation engineers in Florida?
Employers hiring transportation engineers in Florida right now include Kimley-Horn, Ardurra, and AVCON, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Florida's large public infrastructure pipeline through FDOT and major county transportation departments also generates consistent demand at both prime consultants and subconsultants across the state.
Which Florida cities have the most transportation engineer jobs?
Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville have the most transportation engineer openings in Florida. Tampa and Orlando lead because of major FDOT district offices, large engineering consulting hubs, and active corridor and transit expansion projects, while Miami's density and port-driven freight infrastructure support a strong concentration of traffic and design engineering roles.
Are there remote transportation engineer jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're relatively limited. About 45% of transportation engineer openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the field's heavy reliance on field visits, coordination with FDOT reviewers, and site-specific design work. The tasks most compatible with remote work include traffic modeling, report writing, and CAD drafting during early project phases.
How can I get hired as a transportation engineer in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to engineering consulting firms that partner with FDOT, many of which hire new graduates directly into project engineer or design engineer associate roles supporting senior staff on roadway and traffic studies. Large Florida employers like AECOM, Jacobs, and WSP run structured new-graduate programs, and FDOT district offices offer entry-level positions with clear advancement tracks. Completing the FE exam before graduating and building AutoCAD or MicroStation proficiency gives candidates a concrete edge in early screening.
