IEA Welcomes Jesse Fleming, PE
IEA’s newest Senior Project Manager: Jesse Fleming, PE
IEA is proud to welcome Jesse Fleming, PE, to our team as CE&I Senior Project Manager. With more than 30 years of transportation engineering experience and a passion for teamwork, safety, and quality, Jesse brings valuable leadership and insight that will strengthen IEA’s continued growth.
Texas Strong
As a Texas Aggie and lifelong Texan, Jesse is currently a Waco resident with his family. He and his wife have two grown children and two grandchildren who keep them busy and happy.
With more than 30 years of transportation engineering experience across his home state, Jesse has worked in both public and private sectors. He spent 20 years with TxDOT and more than 10 years in consulting, with the last 6 focused on Construction Engineering and Inspection (CE&I). His extensive background makes him a valuable resource for his team to learn from and grow with.
Safety, Quality, and Culture
Throughout his career, Jesse has emphasized the importance of safety, especially for CE&I team members out in the field. “Safety depends on good situational awareness and teamwork,” he explained. “We can all be safety leaders by keeping safety front-of-mind, identifying hazards, and working as a team to mitigate issues.”
He applies the same focus to quality. “Quality depends on understanding expectations, establishing processes to achieve them, and monitoring progress to deliver consistent results that satisfy the client.”
Jesse believes that a strong culture comes from a balance of safety and quality, fostering a workplace that prioritizes people’s well-being, growth, and collaboration.
Building Pride Through Meaningful Projects
When reflecting on teamwork, Jesse recalls one of his favorite projects, which was the SH 71 freeway reconstruction in Bastrop, Texas. “It was an enjoyable project because we had a great CE&I team and a supportive TxDOT Area Office,” he shared. “It was rewarding to build relationships with local leaders and deliver a project that became a source of pride for the community.”
A Natural Fit with IEA’s Mission
Jesse’s decision to join IEA came from past collaboration and respect for the company’s people and reputation. “I have had the opportunity to team with IEA in the past and know there are good people working here,” he said. “IEA has a solid reputation in the industry and strong potential for continued growth. I am excited to contribute to our future success.”
Bringing Experience, Integrity, and Teamwork to IEA
Jesse’s guiding principle is simple: “Character determines success.” Whether leading a team, supporting clients, or spending time with his family, he leads with integrity. Outside of work, he enjoys family time, traveling, hockey, golf, and celebrating Christmas.
IEA is proud to have Jesse Fleming, PE, on board and looks forward to the experience, leadership, and commitment he brings to the team.
