This position represents a critical leadership opportunity within one of Arkansas' largest and most complex municipal Public Works organizations. The role is open following the promotion of the prior AssistantDirector and reflects the City's continued investment in strong operational leadership, infrastructure stewardship, and long-term service reliability.
Reporting directly to the Director of Public Works, the AssistantDirector serves as a key second-in-command, helping guide a diverse, multi-disciplinary department responsible for the core infrastructure and daily services that support Little Rock's residents, businesses, and neighborhoods. With direct involvement in operational oversight, capital planning, budget development, and organizational leadership, this position plays a central role in translating the City's strategic priorities into effective, on-the-ground execution.
THE OPPORTUNITY
The AssistantDirector of Public Works position offers a rare and compelling opportunity for a seasoned public works or municipal engineering leader to operate at a senior executive level within a full-service city.

The Department manages a combined 2026 budget of approximately $56.7 million, spanning multiple funds and operational units, and oversees several hundred employees across field operations, engineering, and administrative functions. The AssistantDirector works in close partnership with the Director to ensure operational continuity, fiscal discipline, regulatory compliance, and service excellence across this broad portfolio.

Assistant Director of Public Works
MacKenzie Eason & Associates
Assistant director job in Little Rock, AR
AssistantDirector of Public Works (Engineering / Operations) City of Little Rock, Arkansas Mackenzie Eason & Associates has been retained by the City of Little Rock to assist in the recruitment of an AssistantDirector of Public Works. This position represents a critical leadership opportunity within one of Arkansas' largest and most complex municipal Public Works organizations. The role is open following the promotion of the prior AssistantDirector and reflects the City's continued investment in strong operational leadership, infrastructure stewardship, and long-term service reliability.
Reporting directly to the Director of Public Works, the AssistantDirector serves as a key second-in-command, helping guide a diverse, multi-disciplinary department responsible for the core infrastructure and daily services that support Little Rock's residents, businesses, and neighborhoods. With direct involvement in operational oversight, capital planning, budget development, and organizational leadership, this position plays a central role in translating the City's strategic priorities into effective, on-the-ground execution.
THE OPPORTUNITY
The AssistantDirector of Public Works position offers a rare and compelling opportunity for a seasoned public works or municipal engineering leader to operate at a senior executive level within a full-service city. The Department of Public Works touches nearly every aspect of daily life in Little Rock, from streets, drainage, and traffic systems to solid waste, recycling, facilities maintenance, sustainability initiatives, and internal service delivery.
The Department manages a combined 2026 budget of approximately $56.7 million, spanning multiple funds and operational units, and oversees several hundred employees across field operations, engineering, and administrative functions. The AssistantDirector works in close partnership with the Director to ensure operational continuity, fiscal discipline, regulatory compliance, and service excellence across this broad portfolio.
While divisional oversight assignments may evolve over time, the City intentionally rotates AssistantDirector responsibilities to ensure comprehensive exposure to all Public Works functions and to build enterprise-wide leadership capacity. This structure provides an exceptional professional development platform for leaders seeking breadth, complexity, and long-term executive growth within municipal infrastructure management.
Over the next several years, the AssistantDirector will help lead the Department through a number of significant initiatives, including:
Oversight of the 2026 Bond Program, with major investments in streets, drainage, and resurfacing.
Implementation of new garbage routing software to improve service efficiency and data-driven decision-making.
Development and formalization of a department-wide safety and training program.
Support for restructuring Building Services toward an internal service fund model.
Advancing strategies to address aging infrastructure, rising costs, and expectations to “do more with less.”
Building and sustaining productive relationships with a new employee union.
This role is well-suited for a technically grounded leader who also excels at organizational leadership, cross-departmental collaboration, and public-sector governance.
ABOUT THE CITY & DEPARTMENT
The City of Little Rock, Arkansas' capital and largest city, serves as the state's political, economic, and cultural center.

Acting as a senior executive leader, the AssistantDirector provides strategic oversight of assigned divisions, supports department-wide policy development, and ensures that operational and capital initiatives align with the City's long-range goals.
Key aspects of the role include:
Providing executive leadership for complex Public Works operations and capital programs.
Assisting with the development, monitoring, and administration of multi-fund departmental budgets.
Evaluating service delivery methods and implementing process improvements to enhance efficiency, safety, and performance.
Supporting contract administration, consultant coordination, and construction oversight for Public Works projects.

Representing the Department before the City Manager, Mayor, Board of Directors, boards and commissions, and the public.
Leading departmental initiatives related to employee engagement, safety culture, and professional development.
Assuming full departmental leadership responsibilities in the Director's absence, as assigned.
This role requires the ability to operate comfortably at both the strategic and tactical levels, reviewing plans and financial analyses one moment, and addressing public concerns, policy questions, or organizational challenges the next.
IDEAL CANDIDATE PROFILE
The City seeks a confident, experienced public works leader who combines technical credibility with organizational leadership, financial acumen, and strong communication skills. The ideal candidate will bring a background in civil engineering or public works operations, along with demonstrated success leading multidisciplinary teams in a municipal environment.
