At FEI, we're not just designing sites-we're helping shape communities across North Carolina. We're looking for a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) who's ready to step into a true leadership role: guiding land development projects from concept to construction while building strong client relationships along the way.

• Take responsibility for project outcomes: quality, timelines, budgets, and client satisfaction
• Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, municipalities, and regulatory agencies
• Guide and mentor Assistant Project Managers and technical staff

• Valid NC driver's license

Nice to Have

• Experience with Ajera or similar project financial software
• Background in client-facing consulting
• Familiarity with land surveying principles

Why FEI?

• Meaningful project responsibility - You lead projects, not just pieces of them

• Predictable schedule -
  Mon-Thu: 7:30 AM - 5:30 PM
  Fri: 7:30 AM - 11:30 AM
