Key Responsibilities:
  • Perform bridge design tasks and technical evaluations under applicable standards.
  • Coordinate plan development with designers; provide engineering direction on details and constructability.
  • Support preparation of design documentation, exhibits, and technical narratives.
  • Participate in QA/QC reviews and design comment resolution.
  • Coordinate with PMs and other disciplines to meet project milestones.

PATHWAYS FOR GROWTH
At LIVIC, we value ambition and the unique strengths each team member brings. This role can evolve into various exciting paths over time based on your interests, talents, and drive. Possible career growth paths include:
  • Project Management Roles - Leading projects from inception to completion.
  • Development Coordinator Roles - Focusing on business growth and client partnerships.

This position is ideal for someone who sees themselves growing into a future leader, whether in project management, operations, marketing, or client development.
QUALIFICATIONS
  • Required:
    • Bachelor's degree in Civil/Structural Engineering or closely related field
    • 4+ years of progressive bridge/structural engineering experience
    • EIT
    • Familiarity with common bridge standards (AASHTO / DOT requirements)
    • Working knowledge of MicroStation/OpenBridge or comparable bridge delivery tools
    • Strong communication and documentation skills
    • Authorized to work in the United States
  • Preferred:
