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

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.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Pre-Development & Due Diligence
  • Lead technical evaluations of prospective sites, including feasibility studies, zoning analysis, and utility / infrastructure capacity.
  • Review and interpret surveys, title commitments, geotechnical, traffic, and environmental studies.
  • Identify development risks and propose mitigation strategies.
  • Engineering Coordination
  • Support the Head of Engineering in guiding external civil consultants through site plan and entitlement processes.
  • Oversee preparation of grading, stormwater, utility, and roadway plans for compliance with jurisdictional requirements.
  • Ensure technical deliverables align with development schedules and budgets.
  • Assist in public and community events and meetings as needed
  • Real Estate & Transaction Interface
  • Provide technical input to brokers during site acquisition and marketing discussions.
  • 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.
  • Represent technical issues to both internal decision-makers and external stakeholders in a concise, business-oriented way.
  • Coordinates with other members of the design team.
  • Other duties as assigned
  • QUALIFICATIONS

  • Required :
  • Solid understanding of entitlement requirements and ability to develop strategies to effectively navigate and mitigate inherent permitting risks.
  • Proven ability to review and manage due diligence reports (survey, title, environmental, geotechnical, etc).
  • Familiarity with zoning, entitlement, and permitting processes.
  • 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.
  • Accommodate necessary travel needs between offices on occasion and attendance at evening events as needed.
  • Ability to :
  • Manage time effectively; prioritize and handle multiple tasks and responsibilities
  • Work in a team environment as well as independently
  • Establish and maintain effective work relationships, interact effectively with others
  • Adapt to changing work priorities, understand and follow direction
  • Overcome internal and external procedural challenges by offering solutions that will lead to overall operational satisfaction.
  • Strong PC Skills i.e. Word, Excel, MS Outlook, Virtual Conferencing
  • High standards of confidentiality to handle sensitive information
  • Excellent Written and Oral Skills
  • Preferred :
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license
  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering
  • Development Experience
  • 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 this part of our business and create a lasting impact—all with the support and resources of a thriving, innovative firm.

    In this role, you’ll not only oversee impactful projects but also have the chance to grow into a leader of your own specialized practice within our organization. Here’s how we’ll help you succeed :

  • Create your value – Take ownership of your new development areas, grow your network while working on difficult large scale projects, and help us build an effective team to expand these services.

  • Share in the Success – Benefit directly from the success of your practice with profit-sharing opportunities that reward your results.
  • Build & Lead Your Team – Recruit, mentor, and inspire your team of engineers and professionals, creating a high-performing group aligned with your goals and shared company guide vision.
  • This is a rare chance to combine your technical expertise, leadership skills, and entrepreneurial vision in a supportive environment where you can thrive and grow.
