At LPA you'll be part of the team that is changing the way the industry thinks about design and carbon emissions, built around the belief that we only achieve our goals when everybody has a seat at the table and all input is valued.
We're currently seeking a Civil Project Engineer to join our dynamic team. You'll be part of a culture that values deep collaboration, technical excellence, and continual growth. As a member of our civil engineering team, you will work on a broad range of projects. Examples of completed projects include Edwards Lifesciences and Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across our studios in California and Texas-and help bring high-performance, community-first design to life.
What You'll Do:
As a Civil Project Engineer, you will collaborate closely with Project Designers and Project Managers to help lead the civil design process from concept through construction. You will play a key role in shaping projects and ensuring their successful delivery.
- Partner with multidisciplinary project teams to plan, design, and develop civil engineering solutions.
- Contribute to overall project strategy, schedules, and coordination to support project success.
- Prepare and oversee documentation for schematic design, design development, and construction documents.
- Support construction administration efforts, including responding to RFIs and reviewing submittals.
- Mentor and guide junior designers, fostering technical growth and collaboration.
- Actively participate in professional organizations and contribute to the advancement of the profession.
At LPA, your growth and contributions matter. We foster a collaborative culture where creative ideas are valued, and voices are heard.
- Mentorship from Managing Directors, Design Directors, and senior team members across disciplines.
- Career development support, including professional development grants and in-house training.
- Ongoing education through LPA+U courses and Tech Talks focused on innovative, sustainable practices.
- 8 paid hours of volunteer time each year.
- Opportunities to propose and lead projects that impact your local community, including more than $1 million since 2015 in Habitat for Humanity builds, scholarships, and other pro bono community projects.
- Access to our Professional Development Grants program, created to encourage professional development and further LPA's collective knowledge as a firm. Over the life of the grant program, we have invested $1,196,890 and impacted 848 LPA employees.
Required:
- Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering.
- 8+ years of experience across all phases of civil engineering projects.
- Professional Engineer (PE) license in California.
- Proficiency in CAD and Civil 3D.
- Strong technical knowledge of industry-standard engineering software.
- Enthusiasm for a multidisciplinary design process and collaborative team environment.
- Demonstrated ability to lead civil design efforts with guidance from Project Managers and Directors.
LPA is an integrated design firm with offices in California and Texas, focused on creating forward-thinking, sustainable spaces that make a positive impact. We believe great design begins with great people, which is why we foster a supportive, collaborative environment where creativity, curiosity, and professional growth are encouraged. Our culture values diversity, promotes wellness, and supports a healthy work-life balance. At LPA, we offer competitive salaries and a robust benefits package-including health and dental insurance, retirement and financial planning, wellness initiatives, and flexible work/life programs.
This position is eligible for an annual bonus. If you are hired at LPA, your base salary is based on factors such as geographic location, skills, education, experience and/or project complexity.
