Peoria residents may someday drive on smoother roads and witness better drainage systems thanks to the City of Peoria's Development and Engineering Department, which just announced a job opportunity that aims to bring these improvements to life. The department is seeking a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Project Manager I, a pivotal role in overseeing street and drainage projects, among others funded by the capital or operating budget.
The new hire will be joining a "fun and family-oriented culture," and is expected to quickly build positive relationships with not just the internal team, but also with "engineering consultants, and highly qualified general contractors and subcontractors," according to a statement obtained by the City of Peoria. With customer service and relationship-building skills being crucial, the ideal candidate will need to immediately begin to liaise effectively with various stakeholders.
This full-time position offers an unconventional schedule designed to promote work-life balance, featuring a four-day workweek with ten-hour days. It represents Peoria's commitment to not just infrastructural improvement, but to nurturing a workforce that can find harmony between personal commitments and professional responsibilities.
The role promises a dynamic environment in the Engineering Services Division, where creativity and practicality must be met. The successful candidate will manage small capital projects with the foresight to anticipate potential obstacles and the drive to execute solutions. Through these efforts, they will play an instrumental role in the evolution of Peoria's landscape—provided they are armed with the necessary "customer service and relationship building skills," as the city puts it.
