Job Description

The City of Salem Public Works is hiring a civil engineer at one of three levels —Engineering Program Manager, Senior Project Manager, or Project Manager — depending on your experience and certification.

The Engineering Division's approved Capital Improvement Plan totals $407 million and provides at least 10 years of funded infrastructure to be delivered by our team.
