Contact John Flansberg

John Flansberg was appointed as the City’s first Regional Infrastructure Administrator in July 2022. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, passed by Congress in 2021, is an unprecedented national investment to improve roads, bridges, transit, rail, ports, airports, broadband, and drinking water and wastewater infrastructure over the next five years. This new role will leverage Flansberg’s 30+ years of experience and knowledge of local and regional infrastructure to ensure the City is focused on and actively competes for state and federal funding opportunities with an initial emphasis on regional water projects.

Flansberg served as Director of Public Works since 2009 and began working for the City of Reno as the Deputy Director of Public Works over Maintenance and Operations in 2005. Prior to coming to Reno, Flansberg worked for Carson City for nine years in positions of increasing responsibility in planning, constructing, and managing infrastructure. He began his career in 1990 working for Granite Construction Company managing and constructing projects primarily for federal, state and local governments.

John received his Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from Oregon State University. He is a State of Nevada Registered Professional Engineer (Civil) and a member of the American Public Works Association. He also serves on the University of Nevada, Reno Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Advisory Board.
