The role of the structural engineer is a key component in the construction process of a nation’s infrastructure. It is a really rewarding job to be involved from the design to construction of our world's structures.
But where are the most career opportunities in structural engineering? Which States offer the most jobs for structural engineers? In this article, we will tell you!
We analyzed the Civil, Environmental and Construction Industry data from CEECareers.com, and we are now able to show you the places with the highest demand for Structural Engineering jobs in 2022.
There is great demand for structural engineers in the U.S., as shown in the map below. In total, 520 structural jobs were posted in CeeCareers.com for the US out of a total of 3,763 posted throughout the year. With expected fluctuations in the demand, structural engineers are sought after across the country and particularly in the South as well as on the West and East Coasts.
For this year, the best place for a structural engineer to look for a job is at the South. Texas appears to be in a phase of significant construction activity, since with 10.61% of total jobs posted, seems to have the most structural career opportunities!
Not by a wide margin, New York follows with 9.55% with California taking the third place with 8.49%. The battle between East and West seems fairly balanced, according to the data.
In the Southeast Coast, one has a good chance to find a structural job in Florida who had 6.90% of the structural job postings.
