Project Engineer - Civil

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.
