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)
• 🏗️ 10+ years in land development engineering
• 👥 3+ 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

If you’re ready to lead meaningful projects and grow your impact, we’d like to meet you.
