Until 1994, Tsivilyov served in the Soviet Army, and the Russian Armed Forces and Navy in the Northern Fleet, and has the military rank of captain of the third rank.

From 1995 to 1996, he was the head of the security service at the St. Petersburg branch of Aeroflot Bank.

From 1997 to 2012, he headed the law firm Nortek in St. Petersburg.

In 2007, he co-founded the Lenexpoinvest company, which was supposed to build a new Lenexpo complex - where, in particular, the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum is held annually. Another co-founder of Lenexpoinvest was Viktor Khmarin, a classmate of Vladimir Putin, who studied martial arts with him, and the husband of Putin's cousin. Khmarin's companies in those years were one of the largest suppliers of equipment for Gazprom. Another co-founder of Lenexpoinvest is the former head of the Leningrad City Executive Committee Vladimir Khodyrev.

Since 2010, he has been investing in the mining sector.

From 2012 to 2013, he was deputy chairman of the board of directors of LLC Kolmar.

Since 2014, he was the CEO of the Kolmar company and the owner of 70% of its shares (the remaining 30% through the Volga Group belong to the entrepreneur Gennady Timchenko).[4] Kolmar LLC is a complex of coal mining enterprises, trading and logistics organizations that form a single cycle of mining, enrichment and shipment of high-quality coal, which is mined at the deposits of the Neryungri region of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

On 2 March 2018 Tsivilyov was the Deputy Governor of the Kemerovo Region for Industry, Transport and Consumer Market.[5]

On 25 March 2018, a fire broke out in the Zimnyaya Vishnya shopping and entertainment center in Kemerovo, which killed 60 people. On 27 March 2018, the residents of Kemerovo went to a spontaneous rally during the protests, at which they demanded the resignation of the Governor of the Kemerovo Oblast, Aman Tuleyev and the administration of the city of Kemerovo, a transparent investigation and the prosecution of all those responsible. Tuleyev did not come to this rally, but the rally was attended by the deputy governor Tsivilyev, who, like Tuleyev, accused its participants of a PR attempt.[6] In response, one of the rally participants, Igor Vostrikov, said that he “lost five people in the fire, three of them are children”.[7] Tsivilyov, later speaking at the same rally, asked the relatives of the victims for forgiveness, kneeling down in front of them.[8]

Governor of Kemerovo Oblast

After the resignation of Tuleyev on 1 April 2018, Tsivilyov was appointed by President Putin as the interim governor of the oblast.[9][10]

On 29 April 2019, at a hardware meeting, he threatened the nurses of the Anzhero-Sudzhensk city hospital, who went on a hunger strike against the mass layoff of medical staff. Declaring the inadmissibility of holding "rallies and strikes" in the field, he turned to the prosecutor's office and the police with a request to take tough measures against the hunger strikers.[12][13]

At the end of 2019, the collegium of the Kemerovo region administration was transformed into the government of the Kemerovo Oblast.

In 2022, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Tsivilyov initiated a campaign to refer to the region in official documents as "КуZбасс" (KuZbass), incorporating the Latin letter Z used as a pro-war symbol.[14][15][16]

His brother, Valery is the general director of Kolmar Group.
