There are 1,045 live engineering openings in Florida right now, pulled directly from employer career sites. Employers added at least 109 new engineering postings in Florida in the past week — more than a tenth of everything currently live.

Hiring is concentrated: Northrop Grumman alone accounts for roughly 24% of open roles, with Kimley-Horn and AECOM2 next in line. Melbourne has the deepest pool (242 openings), followed by Orlando (130) and Tampa (129). Of postings that specify a schedule, 98% are full-time. 35 listings are remote-eligible — a small slice (3%) of the market.

Posted pay in Florida runs below the national mix for engineering work: 57% of salaried postings here advertise $100K or more, versus 75% nationwide. The median posted salary is about $108,000 here, compared with roughly $132,000 across all states.

For context beyond current listings: the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates the average annual wage for architecture and engineering occupations in Florida at $97,000 (median $89,000) as of May 2025. Posted salaries on new openings here currently run above that benchmark. Source: BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics.
