About the role

The Village of Oswego, a growing community just southwest of Chicago, seeks a qualified Director of Public Works to guide key infrastructure initiatives and long-range planning. You will oversee major projects, including the transition to Lake Michigan water, Wolfs Crossing corridor improvements, and a new Public Works facility, while supporting continued growth and community services. Ideal candidates have a strong public works background, a relevant degree, and significant leadership

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.
