Consulting Engineering Lead, Mountain West Region

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 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. 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‑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. 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. 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. 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.
