Public Works Director Chris Warneford, whose Department oversees the new division, said he’s looking for people with good attitudes who can work as part of a team, who are self-motivated and can solve problems, and who take pride in their work. But they also need skills and must have experience in public works, construction, or maintenance, he said.
A lot of the work will entail rebuilding or repairing concrete catch basins, culverts, and ditches, so Warneford said he’s looking for people who can operate a backhoe, a trackhoe, dump truck, skid steer loaders and similar equipment.
Other jobs in the division might come open down the line, he said.
“This is a fledging division, and we’re building it one step at a time,” he said. “Its success will depend on being staffed with people who can do the work steadily and efficiently.”
