Leadership Development Opportunities at SME
Many of our team members desire an engineering consulting career path that includes project management and leadership. If this is something you would like to pursue or learn more about, we encourage you to let us know. We’ll help you build on your strengths so you continue to pursue your interests and remain excited about your work. We offer a dynamic leadership development program to help you explore your potential.

Rewards beyond compensation

Your success and SME’s future are unquestionably linked. We’re small enough that you won’t get lost in the crowd, but big enough for you to explore a variety of SME career options within and between our major service groups. Many of our team members have built and “changed careers” while remaining at SME for 15 or more years.

We realize your needs extend beyond base pay. That’s why employee benefits are an important part of your total compensation package at SME. From group medical and prescription coverage, life and disability insurance, to long-term care insurance, we take care of our team members. Additionally, we offer discretionary performance bonuses. We believe in rewarding the exceptional ways you contribute to SMEs success. As a 100% employee-owned company, we provide committed members of our team the opportunity to share in our success through SME shareholder programs. Finally, we realize you can’t have a great life at work unless you have a satisfying life away from work. We provide ample time to recharge your batteries and spend time with family and friends.
