Who is ACEC
We are here to ensure your business succeeds! ACEC is a full-service trade association representing consulting engineers, advocating for the best environment to operate your firm.
Who We Are & What We Do
Find a Firm
A direct pipeline linking you to your next partnering engineering firm or company. We can connect your out-of-state or small local firm, to NC's largest engineering primes. When you are looking to hire a consulting engineering firm or company for a specific project, contract, or job, the Find-A-Firm directory will lead you there.
State & Federal Advocacy
ACEC/NC will fiercely defend your business interests at the State and Federal level. Membership with ACEC/NC requires simultaneous membership with ACEC National, providing a combined powerhouse voice in Raleigh, NC and Washington, DC. From gavel-to-gavel lobbying, our dedicated lobbying team works closely with our Legislative Committee and Leadership to protect your business.
Control Cost's & Retain Employees
ACEC's Trust Programs are designed to enhance your membership investment by helping to control your firm's overhead costs. The ACEC Trusts have created partnerships with respected administrators and plan providers that offer valuable services at competitive prices.
Agency Collaboration
Committees and Forums focus on practice-area-specific issues that have an impact on how engineering companies do business both at the state and national level. Through participation in one or more committee/forum, our members help shape the industry and run the affairs of the Council, providing one of the most important benefits to our member firms. From Business Practices to Vertical development, from Small Firm Forum to our new Women's Forum, She Builds NC, the ACEC/NC community is the foundation and the future of the Engineering industry in North Carolina!
