Melfort looking for new fire chief and city treasurer

Meanwhile, former Fire Chief Shaun Stewart was let go from his position in November, with the city refusing to discuss what led to his departure.

“These vacancies present an exciting opportunity for individuals looking to make a big impact in the community,” City Manager Adam Homes told northeastNOW.

The fire chief/emergency program coordinator will look after Melfort’s paid on-call firefighter team that answers calls in the city and surrounding areas.

Homes said the new fire chief role has changed since Stewart’s departure a couple of months ago.

“I think there’s a bit more focus on firefighting and the emergency management program,” Homes said. “That position previously had some other duties as well, but we’ve…[focused more] on emergency management planning and firefighting.”

The new fire chief would help compile policies and procedures for types of emergencies that could affect a community, such as a train derailment, or lengthy power outages.

Homes said the positions will remain open until the ‘right’ candidate is hired, but he hopes that doesn’t take long.

Anyone interested can look at the qualifications required and the job details on the City of Melfort’s website, melfort.ca. You can also email employment@melfort.ca for a detailed job description.

Homes said anyone looking for a career with the CIty of Melfort should keep checking the city’s website and social media pages. He added the city is always looking for lifeguards, and anyone interested can check their employment page.
