You know how to lead people, build client trust and keep projects moving in the right direction. Now bring that experience to Fehr Graham and help guide our NEW Schaumburg office.

This is not a role that is only about managing people or projects. You’ll lead the branch, stay close to clients, manage projects and help identify where Fehr Graham can grow. You’ll work with our Business Unit Leaders, President and other leaders across the firm to turn strategy into action.

What’s in it for you?

This is an opportunity to put your judgment, relationships and leadership experience to work across the business. You’ll have a direct hand in how the Schaumburg office performs, how our people develop and how clients experience working with Fehr Graham.

You’ll have room to build relationships, pursue the right opportunities, mentor staff and help teams deliver work that meets client expectations and our standards.

Where you’ll work

This position is based in our Schaumburg, Illinois, office. At Fehr Graham, relationships matter - with our clients and with each other. We work hard, support one another and make room for some fun along the way. “Have Fun” is one of our Core Values, and you’ll see that in everything from team celebrations to office outings. We also want our people to keep growing. You’ll join a team that values professional development, collaboration and the opportunity to make an impact.
