The Village of Lake in the Hills Public Works Department is seeking an experienced public works professional to serve as its next Deputy Public Works Director. While operations are currently running strong, the department is looking for an additional team member who will challenge the norm, provide oversight and guidance related to purchasing, competitive bidding, and contract management, while also overseeing a number of the administrative functions of the department.
Lake in the Hills is a home rule community of just under 30,000 residents, occupying 10.3 square miles of northeastern Illinois in McHenry County. The Department has an operating budget of nearly $14 million and consists of five divisions: Administration, Airport, Public Properties, Streets, and Water. The position will assist in the oversight of the department’s operations; including the management of programs related to right-of-way operations, roads, signs, stormwater systems, public properties, lakes and creeks, urban forestry, fleet maintenance, trash and recyclables collection, potable water production and distribution, snow and ice control, and airport operations. Leadership strives to provide a high level of service to the residents while fostering a refreshingly positive work environment. In exchange, the department’s 45 dedicated employees are eager to perform and have years of institutional knowledge to share.
A successful candidate will demonstrate experience as a leader of multiple operations, have a track record of moving projects through to completion, be capable of conducting research and providing critical analysis of findings, and be a strong writer. Candidates should have a track record of leading with accountability, demonstrating responsibility for their actions and expecting accountability from all levels of their department staff. The right person will be able to toggle between “big picture” and “day-to-day” management and will require swift and actionable decision-making skills.
