Assistant Director of Public Works – City of Rowlett

Some roles keep things running. This one helps shape how an entire city runs.

The City of Rowlett is looking for an Assistant Director of Public Works who can lead, build, and drive the infrastructure that supports a high-growth community. From streets and drainage to utilities, fleet, and capital projects—this role sits at the center of it all.

You won’t just oversee operations—you’ll help define what’s next.

What You’ll Be Part Of:This isn’t a behind-the-desk leadership role—you’ll be in the mix, partnering across the city to move projects forward and improve how we serve our community:
  • Lead and support operations across multiple Public Works divisions.
  • Drive infrastructure and capital improvement projects from planning to execution.
  • Oversee budgets, contracts, and resource allocation.
  • Develop and mentor teams while building strong operational culture.
  • Partner with City leadership, engineers, contractors, and the community.
  • Help shape long-term infrastructure planning and resilience efforts.
Why Rowle
  • 4-day workweek (real flexibility—not just talk).
  • Medical, dental & vision coverage.
  • Generous vacation time.
  • TMRS pension with a 2:1 city match.
  • High-growth city with visible, impactful projects.
  • Leadership that values ideas and lets you run.
This is a role where your decisions show up in the real world—on the streets, in the systems, and in the future of the city.

What You Bring:
  • 15+ years of progressively responsible experience in public works, construction, or infrastructure.
  • Strong leadership experience (you’ve led teams and delivered results).
  • Experience with budgets, capital projects, and operational strategy.
  • Ability to navigate complex projects, priorities, and stakeholders.
  • Municipal experience preferred.
The Bottom Line:If you’re ready to step into a role where you can lead at scale, build something meaningful, and leave a lasting impact on a growing city—this is it.
