Background

About Jennifer Shaffer

With 17 years of experience in the government public works industry, I have developed a deep understanding of the complexities involved in managing infrastructure projects and municipal services. In my current role as a Management Analyst for the Public Works Department of the Town of Florence, I leverage my extensive background to oversee and support capital projects that directly impact the community. My primary responsibilities include managing procurement processes, ensuring compliance with local regulations, and coordinating the acquisition of goods and services needed for the successful execution of large-scale public works initiatives. Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in project analysis, budget management, and operational efficiency. I work closely with engineers, contractors, and department leadership to streamline workflows, manage resources, and track project progress to ensure on-time and on-budget completion. In addition to procurement, I manage various administrative duties, including preparing detailed reports and agenda items, maintaining project documentation, and providing strategic recommendations to improve operational performance. My experience in the public works sector has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of the critical role these projects play in shaping and enhancing the infrastructure that supports our communities.
