Job description

Every innovative product, critical system, and life-changing structure begins with an engineer who first had to pass a professional licensing exam. School of PE exists to make that leap possible. We prepare aspiring and working engineers across disciplines - from mechanical to electrical, civil to chemical - to earn their credentials and advance their careers. Our customers are individual engineers looking to get licensed, as well as corporations (engineering firms, government agencies and universities) who are looking to upskill and retain talent through access to licensing. If you’re energized by growth, experimentation, and a “students-first” culture built on honesty and respect, School of PE may be your next best career move.
