Duncan is small, in a Big way. Just a few hundred metres off the Highway (about 60 kilometres north of Victoria) you’ll find 300 shops and services in a few beautiful walkable blocks enhanced by 40 world renowned totem poles. Within minutes of downtown are 5 golf courses, 15 wineries, lake and ocean waterfront, and world class trails. Our compact city offers high quality living and acts as the commercial centre serving a population of approximately 80,000 people.

Reporting to the Chief Administrative Officer, the Director of Public Works and Development Services will bring their energy and enthusiasm to the Senior Management Team.

We are seeking someone with a university degree in Civil Engineering, with specific experience in engineering, planning, and development in a municipal setting, who is a proactive and effective decision maker with superior verbal and written communication skills. Candidates should have experience demonstrating exceptional project management skills, and a successful track record of using technical expertise to find innovative solutions and working collaboratively with all interested parties to find win-win solutions that protect the community interests.
