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.

As a small, agile firm, we’re committed to evolving quickly, achieving exceptional results that set us apart.
