# What Salary Should I Expect for a Construction Project Engineer Role in 2024–2025?

A Construction Project Engineer's pay moves based on project size and complexity, sector, years of experience, certifications, and willingness to travel. Roles supporting large heavy civil, data center, rail, tunnel, or wastewater projects typically sit at the higher end of the range. Entry-level positions tied to smaller scopes pay less, while senior project engineers on complex, fast-moving work command a premium. The title is not standardized across the industry, so clarify whether the role is field-based, office-based, or a mix when benchmarking your own value or evaluating a candidate.
