Crested Butte, and the Crested Butte Mountain Resort and northeast of the incomparably beautiful San Juan Mountains. Monarch Mountain (more skiing) is 45 minutes to the east. This geography also makes it one of the coldest locations in the country every winter.

Reporting directly to the city manager, the public works director oversees the departing and these divisions: engineering, electric, fleet, facilities, refuse and recycling, streets and alleys, wastewater collection and treatment, water treatment and distribution, and stormwater all managed by experienced, capable superintendents, including a utilities manager. The departmental budget of $30.6 million (Operating, $17.4M), supports 33.2 FTE. The most critical trait of the next director is a true customer service mindset, one fixed on eliminating roadblocks, relentlessly seeking solutions, and on finding a path to “Yes.” A bachelor’s degree in engineering, public administration, business administration, or a closely related field; four to ten years of responsible experience in business, engineering, construction, or public works; at least five to seven years of supervisory and administrative responsibility; or an acceptable combination of education, training, and experience that demonstrate the knowledge, abilities, and skills needed for this position are all required. A professional engineering license is not required. Experience managing municipal utilities and snow removal operations is desirable. The following benefits are provided: medical, dental, vision, and life ($100,000) insurances, paid 75% for the employee and dependents, with three PPO choices and other optional benefits. EAP, related services (counseling, financial, legal), and wellness program, including free membership to the Community Center (recreation). Company matches a total of 10% toward two retirement plans, 5% each in the 401(a) and 457(b) defined contribution plans, both through the Colorado Retirement Association. This position enjoys paid vacation (three weeks per year), 12 sick days, and 12 paid holidays. Relocation assistance and possible additional incentives are subject to negotiation.
