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.
