The Town of Labrador City is searching for a Chief Administrative Officer to take on a unique opportunity and play an integral role in shaping the future of this community and the region.

Reporting to the Mayor and Town Council, the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) provides leadership, motivation, and strategic direction in the planning, organization and coordination of the affairs of the Town. They oversee a team of experienced and dedicated professionals who are responsible for the delivery of municipal services and ensure they have the necessary tools, equipment, and other resources to carry out their duties safely and effectively. They support all aspects of the Town’s day-to-day operations and ensure that the vision, decisions, priorities, policies, and initiatives of Council are implemented as directed.
The CAO expertly advises senior staff and Council on all matters relating to administration and management of the Town. As the Town’s senior staff person, the CAO is ultimately responsible for the proper coordination of resources and equipment to senior staff (and the workforce) and provides information and support to the Mayor and Council in undertaking decisions as elected officials. In carrying out these legislated responsibilities and administering the affairs of Council, the CAO must help foster a positive attitude internally, project a positive image of the Town externally and work in collaboration with industry, government and community stakeholders to further socio-economic growth and sustainability within the region.
