Town of Drumheller

The rich, rolling farmlands suddenly break away to reveal an astonishing, twisting, turning canyon, walled with multi-coloured layers of sandstone, mudstone and coal alternating with shale sequences. The rock layers date back to the late Cretaceous Period, just before the demise of the dinosaurs. The Drumheller Badlands are one of the few areas in the world where sedimentary layers from earlier time periods have been scraped off by natural processes, exposing a rich cache of fossils and even complete dinosaur skeletons.

Our Economy

Drumheller offers the visitor and those contemplating taking up residence in the Town of 8,000 a quality of life that has many larger city amenities but the pace and charm of a larger town. The Town has exciting history that goes back to the day when thousands of men worked underground in the coalmines, providing coal for a growing western Canada. Residential lots are reasonably priced for those wishing to build their home. For entrepreneurs, commercial and industrial lots are also available at reasonable prices. For those wishing to retire, no better area exists to be able to walk in comfort and safety. Business in the Drumheller Valley has forever been self-driven. There has always been a welcome and comfortable fit for newcomers. The area probably services more industries than any other similar centre in Alberta. Major sectors include agriculture, manufacturing, oil and gas and tourism and provide excellent support mechanisms, expanding commercial base, modern industrial parks and a labour force developed by young entrepreneurial and steadfast values.

Our Community

Challenges in social programming and community services are being met head on through a positive plan of action. This includes a new civic centre under construction, extensive social and educational programs provided by groups such as Big Country Outreach, the Big Country Educational Consortium, Drumheller Adult Resource Society, and the Town of Drumheller Community Services Department. Drumheller is the service centre for east central Alberta and home to the Court of Queen's Bench, the Drumheller Associated Physicians Clinic, the David Thompson Health Region and several lawyers and dentists. All are strong economic contributors to the area.

Director of Corporate Services Position

The Town of Drumheller’s organizational structure includes three senior department head positions working with the Chief Administrative Officer. Of the senior department head team positions, we are seeking one complimentary team member to lead, plan, manage and coach a variety of financial and management support services of the corporate services function. We are looking for a person dedicated to working with their employees and Town departments to provide the best management and professional leadership with the Chief Administrative Officer and Town Council. The Corporate Services Director is responsible for the outcomes of the following key activities: current and long range Town budget and financial plans; municipal sustainability planning coupled with department strategic business planning; finance and treasury; information technology systems; human resources; risk management; communications; municipal legislative and policy requirements; and general administration. Candidates with five to seven years experience with strong general management skills in progressively responsible positions in municipal sectors, along with an undergraduate degree or college diploma in business administration. A recognized accounting designation or equivalent is desirable; example: CMA, CGA.
