Project Engineer - Solar / 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 through civil engineering, land development, traffic and transportation engineering, GIS, survey, and landscape design. With several of our largest and most forward-thinking projects on the horizon, particularly in the renewable energy and land development sectors, we're looking for a Project Engineer ready to grow with us and 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 problem-solve in a collaborative environment, we want to meet you.

PATHWAYS FOR GROWTH
At LIVIC, this is more than just a job, it's a launching pad for your career. You'll gain exposure to projects in both traditional land development and emerging solar energy markets.
