[roberttx]

Hi,

Does anybody know the starting salary for a recent pe civil working in highway, roads and streets design, in texas (el paso) or similar areas? I also have 8+ yrs design experience, pre-PE.

Thanks,
Roberttx

Salary.com lists structual engineer IV with 88K as median:

Salary.com doesn't seem to include anyone from the Texas Department of Transportation, since the 25% mark is pretty close to the median. $60-$70k is more like what one might expect to start with at the DOT with that experience level. I don't know what the typical ratio of private industry to state pay is though.
