Official Text

To the Honorable Alderman Niedergang,

 

The Director of Engineering was filled 9/26/2014 and was abruptly vacated 11/28/2014. Since that time, it was advertised initially from 12/9/2014 to 1/9/2015. During the aforementioned application period no suitable candidates were found. The position was re-advertised from 2/25/2015 to 3/25/2015. We are holding first round interviews this week (4/6/2015 - 4/10/2015) and plan to hold applicable second round interviews between 4/20/2015 and 4/24/2015. The fill date will be dependent on finding a suitable candidate but our hope is to have it filled by June 1st.

 

At the request of the Capital Projects Director, the Assistant Engineering Director will be advertised once a new Engineering Director is on board so that they may take part in the hiring process.

 

Myself or my staff are happy to assist you with any further questions you may have.

 

Sincerely,

William Roche

Director of Personnel
