CEG Solutions is hiring a Regional Practice Leader to grow our direct-to-market consulting engineering practice across the Denver and Mountain West region. This is a seller-doer role for a licensed engineer who is energized by the full arc of the client relationship — finding new opportunities, winning the work, leading delivery, and growing it into something larger over time. You'll be a principal face of CEG's consulting engineering division in the region: opening doors with new clients, shaping technical scopes and proposals, and leading high-quality engineering spanning work that includes MEP design, energy and plant master planning, capital planning, energy efficiency studies and audits, and monitoring-based commissioning and retro-commissioning. Backed by CEG's Denver- and Boulder-based engineering team, you'll have the talent and infrastructure to deliver — and the mandate to expand both the client base and the team itself as the practice grows. Why This Role Is Different • Build the market, not just the project: You're not just executing assignments — you're the person identifying how and where CEG should be growing in the Mountain West and bringing those opportunities home. • Own the relationship end-to-end: Roughly 25% networking and selling, 75% delivery. You'll win the work, lead it through execution, and deepen the client relationship along the way — backed by a strong existing team behind you to execute. • Real regional leadership: You'll be a principal face of CEG's consulting engineering division in the Denver and Mountain West market, with autonomy to shape how we go to market and direct working access with firm leadership. • Tip of the spear for CEG: You’ll lead a consulting practice that stands on its own — and you’ll do it with intention, focusing the practice on clients and markets where CEG’s design-build capabilities create a natural next step. You won’t be selling design-build, but you’ll be a key part of how those opportunities take shape. • Grow the team you lead: As the practice expands, so does your team. You'll help define hiring needs, attract talent, and develop the engineers who deliver alongside you. • Own the business, not just the work: You’ll hold P&L responsibility for the consulting engineering practice in the region — accountable for its growth, profitability, and long-term health, not just project execution. What You'll Do 1) Drive Business Development and Market Growth • Identify, pursue, and win new consulting engineering opportunities across the Denver and Mountain West region. • Build and nurture a network of clients, partners, and industry contacts that generates a steady pipeline of work. • Develop proposals, scopes, and pricing that position CEG to win — and that set projects up for successful delivery. • Represent CEG at industry events, client meetings, and in the regional engineering community. • Target clients and markets strategically — pursuing consulting opportunities that build a healthy book of business in their own right, with an eye toward those where CEG’s design-build capabilities position the firm well for future engagements. 2) Lead Project Delivery • Serve as the technical and project lead on the work you bring in — owning scope, schedule, budget, and quality on larger or more complex engagements, and handing day-to-day project management off to other team members on smaller projects, particularly as the team grows. • Direct the engineering effort, leveraging CEG's Denver- and Boulder-based team to deliver excellent, defensible technical work. • Apply engineering judgment and consulting experience to solve client problems with practical, well-reasoned solutions. • Maintain hands-on involvement in technical decisions, ensuring the work meets CEG's standards and the client's expectations. 3) Manage and Grow Client Relationships • Serve as the primary point of contact for clients throughout the life of each engagement and beyond. • Build trust through responsiveness, technical credibility, and clear communication — turning first projects into long-term relationships. • Identify follow-on opportunities within existing client accounts and expand CEG's footprint within them over time. • Continuously prospect for new clients in the region while deepening relationships with existing ones. • Recognize when a client’s needs align with CEG’s broader capabilities, and serve as a trusted bridge to the design-build division when the moment is right — supporting the firm’s pull-through success while keeping the consulting relationship credible and client-first. 4) Build and Develop the Team • Partner with leadership to identify hiring needs and recruit additional engineering talent as the practice grows. • Mentor and develop engineers on the team — providing technical guidance, professional coaching, and growth opportunities. • Foster a high-performance, collaborative team culture grounded in technical excellence, client service, and continuous learning. • Help shape the long-term vision and capabilities of CEG's consulting engineering practice in the region. 5) Strengthen the Practice • Hold P&L responsibility for the regional consulting engineering practice — managing utilization, profitability, and reinvestment to build a sustainable, growing business. • Contribute to the development of standards, tools, and processes that improve the quality and consistency of consulting engineering deliverables. • Share insights from the market — competitive dynamics, client needs, emerging opportunities — to inform the firm's strategy. • Champion CEG's value proposition in the Mountain West and help establish the firm as a trusted partner in the region. What You'll Get • Ownership and influence: Real authority to shape how CEG builds its consulting engineering presence in one of the country's most dynamic regional markets. • A platform to deliver: An established Denver- and Boulder-based engineering team behind you, with the technical depth to win and execute meaningful work. • Direct access to leadership: A seat at the table with firm leadership, with visibility into and influence over strategic direction. • A leadership path: Room to grow as the practice grows — with the opportunity to build and lead a regional team you helped recruit. • Interesting, varied work: Direct-to-market consulting engagements that span a range of clients, building types, and technical challenges. • Entrepreneurial environment: The autonomy of running a regional practice with the support and resources of an established firm. What Success Looks Like (First 12–24 Months) • A growing book of consulting engineering work in the Denver and Mountain West region, with a healthy pipeline of new opportunities. • Established relationships with key clients in the region, with evidence of repeat work and account expansion. • Consulting engineering projects delivered on scope, on schedule, and on budget — with clients who become references and advocates. • A clear hiring plan, and progress toward building out the regional team to support continued growth. • CEG recognized as a credible, go-to consulting engineering partner in the Mountain West market. Qualifications • B.S. in Mechanical, Electrical, or related Engineering discipline (M.S. a plus). • Active Professional Engineer (PE) license required. • 10+ years of progressive experience in consulting engineering, with a track record of both technical delivery and business development. • Demonstrated success winning work, managing client relationships, and growing a book of business. • Strong technical foundation in building systems, energy, or related engineering disciplines. • Established network and presence in the Denver and Mountain West market strongly preferred. • Experience leading project teams and mentoring engineers. • Excellent communication, business development, and client management skills. • A genuine interest in applying AI tools and modern workflows to engineering practice. • Drug and background screening required. Location, Travel & Compensation • Based in the Denver / Boulder, Colorado area. • Travel: regional travel for client meetings, site visits, and business development; occasional travel to CEG's Arlington, VA headquarters. • Salary range: $145,000 to $170,000 annually, commensurate with experience. • Annual discretionary bonus program based on performance and company success. • Comprehensive benefits package including healthcare, retirement plans, and professional development support.
