CITY OF FERNIE
CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER
You are a seasoned and collaborative generic leader; you have an impeccable record in the private or public sector (preferably both); your career shows that you ‘make it happen’ wherever you find yourself; and you are ready for your next robust career adventure in a place where you, friends, and family can have a full and rewarding experience.
 
Surrounded by the majestic and breathtaking Rocky Mountains, blessed with one of the top 10 ski hills in the world, offering mountain biking of every level, world class fly fishing, and scores of other exciting outdoor opportunities, this BIG little City has even more:
 
  • A carefully nurtured downtown core incorporating the best of shopping and historic architecture
  • Excellent public and private schools (including French immersion), which dovetail with an exceptional community college system, effectively catering to all needs from academic to industrial
  • A very strong tradition of Arts and Culture and Seniors’ events combines with an exceptional library with events for all ages
 
Fernie’s Mayor and Council are seeking a CAO who can demonstrate a career rich with examples of competence, decisiveness, collaborative action, and exceptional sensitivity – a public servant deeply committed to the community, who ‘walks the talk’, inspires and mentors staff, and provides inspired solutions and options to the Mayor and Council.
 
The City is anchored by mining, forestry and tourism and is on the threshold of incorporating a new area adjacent to the City. The local museum and famous Fine Arts Show, fine restaurants, and casual living round out the joy of residing in this special place of friendly people. The real estate choices are fabulous and very reasonable. For further information, please visit www.fernie.ca, www.tourismfernie.com, or www.ferniechamber.com.
 
Natural mentoring ability and skills to nurture and develop an excellent staff, super communication skills, and demonstrated ability to work effectively at the local, provincial, and federal level, all are vital to the success of the finalist.
