Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) — Town of Nanton (AB)
The Town of Nanton is hiring a Chief Administrative Officer to serve as the municipality’s administrative head and a trusted, clear voice to Council and staff. This is a hands-on leadership role supported by an established management team and committed staff, with a Council that is collaborative, solutions-oriented, and focused on delivering results for the community.
Why this role stands out: you’ll help lead a strong portfolio of high-impact projects, including: • Proposed treated waterline from High River • New medical clinic (with MD of Willow Creek, MD of Ranchland, AHS, and the Government of Alberta) • Administration Office relocation to the THRC Recreation Centre and the RCMP move to the current Administration Office (renovations to both) • Road upgrades and industrial area expansion • Westview residential development, enabling developer-led growth.
We’re looking for a steady, politically neutral leader with strong municipal governance, financial stewardship, project delivery, and a clear focus on proactive communications and stakeholder engagement.
Salary Range: $125,000–$150,000 (commensurate with experience)
