Board approves posting for Public Works Engineer/Project Manager to replace retiring employee
Summary
The board authorized posting for a Public Works Engineer/Project Manager (grade 32) to replace an incumbent who announced retirement; staff said they hope to overlap the new hire with the current employee who has about 20 years of experience.
Muskegon County Public Works staff asked the board to authorize posting for an additional Public Works Engineer/Project Manager position (grade 32) to prepare for an upcoming retirement. The agenda item is recorded as BW25Slash06Dash051.
Staff explained the current employee in the position announced plans to retire in early 2026 and said the county wants to recruit early so the new hire can overlap with the incumbent to transfer institutional knowledge. “We want to have an overlap with the current employee since he's got 20 some years of experience,” staff told the board.
Commissioners expressed support for posting the position. Staff said the posting is intended to begin recruitment and that the timing is to avoid a potential lengthy recruitment gap. No formal amendments were recorded; the board authorized the posting as presented.
