Life Here

Here for each other

DCI's Los Angeles office is a young, collaborative team in a central downtown location near Grand Central Market, an easy meeting spot for clients across the city. The work is wide-ranging and expertise-driven: multifamily residential at its core, plus California school and Division of the State Architect (DSA) projects, campus and community-college housing, modular construction, performance-based design, and a strong focus on sustainability. Rather than fixed teams, engineers float between projects, so ideas move freely and the right specialist gets pulled in whenever one is needed. It's a genuinely close, lively office that skews young: people swap travel photos, debate movies and shows, and find any excuse for a happy hour or a Dodgers game.

You might be a great fit if...

Los Angeles fits an engineer who takes initiative, communicates openly, and holds themselves accountable for quality work, someone independent and efficient who still loves to collaborate, thinks critically, asks good questions, and stays composed when the pace picks up. Outside the office, LA rewards people who want it all within reach: the beach, the mountains, the desert, and world-class entertainment are all a short drive away. You have to be happy behind the wheel, but for the curious and the outdoorsy, it's hard to beat.
