About the role

The City of Cerritos is seeking a seasoned Public Works Director to lead the department that oversees engineering, maintenance, water and electric utilities, and park facilities. You will shape strategy, manage capital projects, and ensure compliance with laws, budgets, and city goals. Responsibilities include directing multiple divisions, overseeing contracts, presenting reports to the City Council, and mentoring staff to deliver reliable municipal services and community improvements.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
