Project Engineer-Energy & Land Development

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

JOB SUMMARY

As a Project Engineer, you'll support our rapidly growing project portfolio in land development and renewable energy. You'll work closely with project managers, clients, and regulatory agencies to bring projects from concept through construction. This position is ideal for someone with strong technical skills, a collaborative mindset, and a passion for sustainable design and engineering excellence.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist in the preparation of site layout, grading, utility, and stormwater management plans for land development and energy projects
• Develop construction documents, engineering reports, and permit applications
• Analyze zoning, land use, and regulatory requirements specific to solar and renewable development projects
• Perform hydrologic and hydraulic calculations and stormwater modeling
• Coordinate with project managers, CAD designers, and subconsultants to meet deadlines and quality standards
• Support permitting efforts with municipal, state, and federal agencies
• Attend field visits and site meetings to support design development and construction oversight
• Assist with QA/QC of technical deliverables and ensure compliance with internal standards
• Research and implement sustainable design strategies within civil site projects

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. Your career so far has been about mastering the entitlement process, growing your network, and navigating the complexities of the regulatory landscape. These experiences have set you apart and positioned you to lead with confidence. 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:

• Lead Your Own Practice – Take ownership of your projects, grow your client portfolio, and guide your own team while shaping the vision for your practice.
• Comprehensive Back-Office Support – Focus on leadership and engineering while we handle marketing, IT, accounting, HR, and recruiting to support your growth.
