DESCRIPTION: Located just 20 minutes north of Seattle on the
north end of beautiful Lake Washington, the City of Bothell, Washington, has
evolved from an isolated logging village to a multi-faceted, full-service city
with a resident population of approximately 34,000 and a business population of
about 23,000. The city is home to a growing bio-tech community and is preparing
to annex approximately 26,000 additional people, which will greatly expand the
service delivery area. The city is undergoing extensive revitalization and the
next Public Works Director will manage major capital projects with regional
significance.
Reporting to the Deputy City Manager, the Public Works Director is responsible
for the day-to-day management and administration of the Public Works Department,
which is organized into five divisions: Fleet & Recreation; Facilities & Parks
Capital Projects; Infrastructure, Development & Improvement; Administration; and
Maintenance Operations. The department has approximately 75 FTEs, not including
seasonal and part-time staff, a 2009-2010 operating budget of $29.7 million, a
2009-2010 Capital Improvements Budget of $45,182,840, and 2009-2015 Capital
Facilities Plan spending of $315 million.
A Bachelor's degree in public administration, civil engineering, or a related
field is required; a Master's degree is desired. The ideal candidate will
possess a minimum of seven to ten years of experience in a comparable or larger
agency, with extensive experience in a senior management role such as Public
Works Director, City Engineer or Assistant Public Works Director or similar
senior management position. Current registration as a Professional Civil
Engineer is a plus but not required.
