Engineering Manager

Are you ready to turn your engineering expertise into lasting community impact?

Roselle has doubled its street improvement program and is investing heavily in its infrastructure and growing downtown. A recent Home Rule referendum and a strong run of grant funding (ITEP, federal STP, and Safe Routes to School) are fueling the work. As Engineering Manager, you will own that program from the first line on the plan to the final inspection, with the budget and support to back it up.

The Village of Roselle is partnering with LocalGov Staffing Solutions, LLC on this search. Applications are accepted online here .

Reporting to the Director of Development and Engineering Services, you will lead the planning, design, and construction of the public infrastructure Roselle residents rely on every day. You will directly oversee the annual Street, Sidewalk, and Storm Sewer Programs (approx. $2.65 million per year) and guide the consultant team on the water main replacement program (approx. $2 million per year).

Key responsibilities include:

• Capital Project Leadership
  Lead the annual street, sidewalk, storm sewer, and water main programs from planning and design through bidding, construction, and closeout.
