Public Works Director

Salary:

Competitive The City of Terrell is seeking a Public Works Director. The City is seeking a highly engaged Public Works executive with strong operational and field experience who can lead from both the office and the field. This role requires a practical, solutions-oriented leader who understands municipal infrastructure systems and can effectively guide teams through operational improvements and organizational change. The Director will oversee approximately $25 million in utility-related operations and capital activity, alongside General Fund infrastructure budgets supporting streets, drainage, sanitation, and related operations. The City is actively developing its CIP program, and this position will play a major role in shaping future infrastructure investments. The ideal candidate will bring a combination of technical credibility, operational leadership, and people management skills. Terrell is specifically seeking someone with strong field and utilities experience, not simply a purely administrative or engineering-focused executive. If you're ready to lead, submit your resume, cover letter, and a list of six work-related references who will not be contacted until the final interviews (two supervisors, two direct reports, and two colleagues). The City of Terrell is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. Please ensure your application is submitted by June 12, 2026.
