RE: USE OF PE LICENSE FOR ADVERTISING
Most states allow engineering advertising as long as it is not false advertising. You also would need to look into your state's requirements for engineering firms in terms of their registration with the state. Some states require principals to be licensed engineers in order to be legal in offering engineering services to the public. Others allow part time employees to be the PE (i.e. Texas).
Check with your state board on that.

I am speaking of the rest of the time (weeks on end). The firm already has several younger PEs. I am speaking of using the credentials of a more experienced PE to solicit work.

If the part time (more experienced) PE is always available for the projects you are advertising for then probably OK.
As far as what to pay the older PE to use their name in pursuing work - that would be up to you and them.
