Harrisburg resumes search for city engineer as candidate declines position

Harrisburg’s MLK City Government Center

Harrisburg is back on the hunt for a city engineer, after over a year with the position vacant.

In January, the city announced that it had hired Michael Yeosock for the job, but according to city officials, he has since declined the position.

Matt Maisel, the city’s communications director, said that Yeosock decided not to take the job due to a family decision. The city is now again searching for someone to fill the position.

However, Maisel said that Harrisburg has since been in touch with other potential candidates.

Harrisburg hasn’t had an in-house city engineer since November 2021 when Wayne Martin left the role. Since March 2022, Lower Paxton Township-based Dawood Engineering filled the position on a temporary basis.

With Yeosock now declining the job, Dawood will continue to handle all non-traffic-related engineering on a temporary basis.
