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.

Is your CV ready If so, and you are confident this is the role for you, make sure to apply asap.

JOB SUMMARY

LIVIC Civil is growing, and we’re looking for a full-time Development Manager with a civil engineering background (PE preferred) to support our emerging pre-development project pipeline. This role is designed for a motivated professional who will directly support our Head of Real Estate Development, helping to manage a portfolio of active sites.

The position is primarily technical, focusing on evaluating sites, managing due diligence, and coordinating consultants, but with a strong overlay of real estate development awareness, project tracking, and reporting. A key responsibility will be maintaining and further developing our GIS-based site tracking tool and using it to provide actionable dashboards and insights to leadership, ensuring critical projects remain on schedule and ROI is maximized.

The Analyst will work closely with engineers, development leaders, outside counsel, brokers, consultants, regulatory agencies, and the public to ensure projects are both technically feasible and commercially viable, while actively advancing the pipeline. If you’re a problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys tackling large, diverse and challenging projects, and can adapt to ever evolving priorities, this role is for you.

This position is perfect for a collaborative team player with strong interpersonal skills, eager to learn from experienced professionals and grow into a future leadership role. At LIVIC, you’ll be contributing to innovative projects that shape communities while building your career in an exciting and supportive environment.

  • Collaborate with attorneys on title review, easements, covenants, and development agreements.
  • Distill engineering findings into practical implications for land deals, pro formas, and negotiations.
  • Reporting & Communication
  • Develop clear written reports and presentations summarizing due diligence findings and project status.
  • Maintain database of active deals and project status along side our GIS team.
  • Proactively pursue decision and forecast critical path needs to maintain schedules.

  • Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical issues to non-technical audiences.
  • 3–8+ years of progressive experience in civil engineering, land development, or related fields.
  • Proficiency with Bluebeam / Adobe and project management tools. Preferred understanding of AutoCAD, GIS and AI Solutions.
  • Willingness, mindset and ability to quickly learn and focus on solutions and creative problem solving.
