Civil Project Engineer / PE — Charlotte, NC My client is a well-established civil engineering firm with deep roots in the Charlotte market. As two of our founding partners prepare to transition, we're looking for a licensed Civil PE who's ready to do more than fill a seat — we want someone who wants to grow into a leadership role and eventually help shape the future of this firm. What you'll be doing • Leading civil engineering projects from concept through construction — site design, grading, stormwater, utilities, and permitting • Managing client relationships and serving as a day-to-day project lead • Collaborating with senior partners during a structured knowledge transfer period • Mentoring junior staff and contributing to project delivery standards • Stepping into increasing responsibility as the firm's next generation of leadership What we're looking for • Licensed PE in Civil Engineering (North Carolina preferred) • 5–10 years of civil engineering experience, ideally in land development or municipal projects in the Charlotte region • Someone who knows the local entitlement and permitting landscape • Strong client communication skills — you're comfortable owning a relationship, not just executing tasks • Ambition — you want a path to principal or partner, not just a job Why this role This isn't a backfill. It's a succession opportunity. The firm has real momentum, a strong client base, and two experienced partners who want to spend the next few years passing down what they've built — to the right person. If you're a PE who's been waiting for a firm that will actually invest in your future, this is worth a conversation.
