COMPTROLLER THOMPSON NAMES
NEW CHIEF ENGINEER

 

New York City Comptroller William C. Thompson, Jr. today announced the appointment of William F. Lipski as Chief Engineer. Lipski, who has three decades of experience managing major capital construction projects for New York City, will start work in September.

Since 1996, Lipski served as Assistant Commissioner for the New York City Department of Design and Construction, directing a large professional staff responsible for a significant portion of capital construction in the City. Previously, he worked for the New York City Department of Environmental Protection, last serving as Chief of Construction for Water and Sewer projects.

In his new role, Lipski will oversee the Comptroller’s Bureau of Engineering and analyze construction and consultant contracts in connection with the City’s capital program.

Lipski replaces Michael Rennard, who retired last year.
