Summary

The City of Waco has retained Mackenzie Eason & Associates to assist in the recruitment of the Assistant City Manager position.

Overview

Waco is seeking a seasoned municipal executive with the maturity, credibility, and judgment to operate successfully at the intersection of infrastructure, development, politics, and organizational leadership.

The ideal candidate will likely bring meaningful experience in one or more of the following environments: a large or growing city, a utility or infrastructure-intensive public organization, or a municipal executive role with substantial responsibility for water, public works, engineering, capital delivery, and development services. The City is not necessarily seeking a Professional Engineer, although that background could be valuable; rather, it is seeking someone who combines infrastructure fluency with executive-level perspective and strong people leadership.
