City Of Champaign: City Of Champaign To Reopen Public Works Director Search

Press release from the City of Champaign:

March 9, 2022

Champaign City Manager Dorothy Ann David announced today that she will reopen the nationwide search for the City’s next Public Works Director. The City’s executive recruitment firm, Baker Tilly US, will soon initiate a new round of targeted advertising and active recruiting in order to identify and encourage more qualified candidates to apply. The recruitment will remain open until the position is filled. Earlier this year the City identified three finalists but was unable to reach agreement with any of those individuals to fill this vacancy. Having exhausted the pool of qualified applicants, the City will now reopen the search and seek out more candidates who have the education, characteristics, and experience needed to successfully lead the City’s Public Works Department.
