City of WL looks for Seniors Bylaw Officer and CAO

As a result of Williams Lake City Council's decision to spend $17,000 on a headhunting firm in its' search for a new Chief Administrative Officer, the City is looking for the following individual:

Working closely with Mayor and Council, you will have overall responsibility for managing the constantly changing and increasingly complex day-to-day affairs of the community. You will provide the leadership skills required to lead a staff of dedicated team professionals and play a key role with council in planning and executing a strategic vision that meets both current and future needs of the City.

Your background includes strong academic credentials and several years in a senior role within municipal administration, ideally coupled with an accomplished work history of private sector management. You fully understand the challenges facing progressive, modern day communities, and have a track record of demonstrating your capabilities as a senior executive. You are a take charge, visionary strategic thinker with impeccable human resources and labour relations skills and a communicator with sound political judgement. You are recognized as a catalyst for positive change within the workplace. Although not a job perquisite, an understanding of First Nations relations will be considered an asset.


The deadline to apply is December 10th at 4:30pm. More details here

For myself - I'd like to see more then the 28 days to reply.  I would think you get a wider range of candidates if the window to respond is more like 60 days... just my own thoughts

Meanwhile - the City will now have its' third Senior Bylaw Officer in the past few years.  You can read what the City is looking in a Senior Bylaw Officer here.  Deadline to respond is Nov 21 at 4:30pm.  Again - I'd like to see a bigger window that the 6 days to respond.  At least, it might give you more candidates to choose from...
