Transportation engineers with professional engineer licensure and years of experience advance to senior-level and management positions. They grow in their careers by leaving small companies to take jobs in larger engineering firms. Those with many years of experience may leave full-time positions to start their own transportation engineering consultancies. Other ways that transportation engineers advance include going back to school for advanced degrees, getting certification in specialized areas, and becoming more active in professional associations.
