Civil Project Manager (PE) – Shape Communities, Lead Projects 📍 High Point, NC | Engineering
⚠️ Must have an active North Carolina PE license to be considered
Build What’s Next - With Real Ownership
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.
If you’re someone who wants more than just “checking plans” - if you want responsibility, influence, and a seat at the table - this is that role.
What You’ll Do
- Lead land development projects as Engineer-of-Record and Project Manager
- 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
- Design and review site plans using AutoCAD Civil 3D, including:
- Grading, erosion control, and subdivisions
- Water, sewer, and stormwater systems
- Stormwater management and final plats
- Coordinate permitting and approvals with local and state agencies
- Represent projects in meetings with boards, agencies, and stakeholders
What You Bring
- ✅ Active North Carolina PE license (required)
- 🎓 Bachelor’s in Civil Engineering (ABET-accredited)
- 🏗️ 5+ years in land development engineering
- 👥 2+ years leading projects or managing people
- 💻 Strong working knowledge of AutoCAD Civil 3D
- 🗣️ Clear communicator and confident leader
- 🚗 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
- Relationship-driven culture – We value trust, not bureaucracy
- Leadership impact – Your decisions shape projects and outcomes
- Predictable schedule – Mon–Thu: 7:30 AM – 5:30 PM Fri: 7:30 AM – 11:30 AM
A Quick Note
- This role is not for EITs or unlicensed engineers
- Applicants must be authorized to work full-time in the U.S.
- FEI does not offer visa sponsorship
- Direct applicants only - no recruiter submissions
If you’re ready to lead meaningful projects and grow your impact, we’d like to meet you.
