ABOUT LIVIC CIVIL

Imagine coming to work each day, excited to tackle challenges alongside a team that’s just as driven and passionate as you are. We’re LIVIC Civil—a tight-knit firm with a mission to guide our clients to success, whether through civil engineering, land development, traffic and transportation engineering, GIS, survey, or landscape design. With several of our biggest projects yet on the horizon, we’re looking for someone ready to grow with us and help make a lasting impact.
This role isn’t for everyone. If you:

• Settle for “good enough,”
• Avoid taking on new challenges,
• Struggle with constructive feedback, or
• Prefer working solo instead of on a team,

then this might not be the right fit. But if you’re a fast learner, adaptable, and eager to research, problem-solve, and contribute to something bigger, you may be exactly who we’re looking for.

WHO WE ARE

LIVIC Civil is Not Your Ordinary Civil Engineering Firm. Since our founding in 2017, we’ve partnered with clients who share our values of integrity, hard work, and responsiveness, delivering projects that go beyond expectations.

This person will be a self-motivated, professional who can confidently work with a variety of people from different backgrounds within the Civil Engineering field. We’re looking for an organized, proactive individual who is a quick study and can communicate effectively, manage shifting priorities, and tackle complex challenges. Someone who is proactive, curious and willing to experiment with emerging tools and technologies to enhance our business and project workflow efficiencies while we aim to develop you professionally.
Key Responsibilities:

Pathways for Growth

At LIVIC, we offer a unique opportunity to turn the skills and connections you’ve worked so hard to build into something extraordinary.

Now, we invite you to build on that foundation, taking the next step to lead your own group and create a lasting impact—all with the support and resources of a thriving, innovative firm.

As a Project Manager, you’ll not only oversee impactful projects but also have the chance to grow into a leader of your own specialized practice within our company. Here’s how we’ll help you succeed:
