Transportation Engineer Jobs in Utah: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a transportation engineer in Utah?
You become a transportation engineer in Utah by earning a bachelor's degree in civil or transportation engineering from an accredited university, then passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam to earn your Engineer-in-Training designation. After gaining qualifying work experience, you apply for Professional Engineer licensure through the Utah Division of Professional Licensing. Most Utah employers expect candidates to be actively working toward PE licensure, and holding it unlocks senior design and project lead roles.
How much do transportation engineers make in Utah?
Transportation engineers in Utah earn a median of about $96,830 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $62,130 for the lowest 10% to over $149,410 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire transportation engineers in Utah?
Companies currently hiring transportation engineers in Utah include Felsburg Holt & Ullevig, Horrocks, and Ryder System, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Utah's robust public infrastructure pipeline through UDOT and regional planning agencies also keeps consulting firms and state contractors among the most consistent sources of openings.
Which Utah cities have the most transportation engineer jobs?
Salt Lake City, Pleasant Grove, and Draper account for the largest share of transportation engineer openings in Utah. Salt Lake City anchors demand as the hub for UDOT headquarters, major consulting offices, and regional transit projects, while Provo and St. George reflect the rapid population growth along the Wasatch Front and in Washington County that is generating new road, bridge, and interchange work.
Are there remote transportation engineer jobs in Utah?
Yes, but they are rare. Transportation engineering involves field reviews, coordination with UDOT project managers, and site-specific design work that typically requires in-person presence. About 43% of transportation engineer openings tied to Utah are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those tend to concentrate in traffic data analysis, travel demand modeling, and grant or environmental documentation roles rather than hands-on design or construction inspection work.
How can I get hired as a transportation engineer in Utah with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate or EIT-level roles at UDOT or large Utah consulting firms like Horrocks Engineers or Stantec, which run structured onboarding programs for candidates who have passed the Fundamentals of Engineering exam but lack full professional experience. Entry roles in traffic operations, pavement management, or corridor planning are common starting points. A strong senior capstone project, internship with a Utah municipality, or a completed EIT credential gives applicants a clear edge when competing for these positions.
Where can I find and apply to transportation engineer jobs in Utah?
You can find and apply to transportation engineer jobs in Utah on Migrate Mate, which lists current Utah openings. Search the roles available, find the ones that match your experience and specialization, and apply directly to the positions that fit.
