The City of Billings is seeking a Public Works Director for Montana's largest city-the county seat of Yellowstone County. With a population of 120,000, Billings offers high-quality amenities on an appealing small-town scale, set against the natural beauty of the nearby Rocky Mountains.


THE CITY OF BILLINGS

Incorporated in 1882, the City of Billings operates under a Council-Administrator form of government with an elected Mayor and 10 elected City Council members from five wards. The City serves a population of 120,000 across 45 square miles with a FY2027 budget of $447 million and a team of 1,084 FTEs. In 2024, Billings was named the 16th best-run city in the U.S. by WalletHub by comparing the quality of services residents receive against the total city budget.


THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR


The Public Works Director oversees one of the largest and most diverse municipal operations in Montana, with a staff of more than 270 employees dedicated to delivering essential services that support the community's infrastructure, safety, and quality of life. Billings is a rapidly growing community that offers a unique opportunity for the next Public Works Director to guide the city toward community-focused development, foster staff growth, and engage meaningfully with businesses, developers, and residents.


WHY APPLY

The City of Billings, Montana's largest community, offers an exceptional leadership opportunity for an experienced and visionary public works professional. The Director will oversee one of the state's largest and most diverse departments, managing an expense budget of $195 million (FY 2027) and guiding major capital projects, including a $150 million reservoir and water treatment facility. City leadership fosters a culture of inclusion, involvement, critical thinking, cooperative leadership, and collaboration while striving to bring the best customer experience to both its employees and citizens. Billings is known for its strong sense of community, high quality of life, and relative affordability.
