At the City of Welland, we're continuously rewriting our story. Not because we don't know where we're going, but because we are constantly reaching for new heights, engaging in new approaches, and pursuing what many believe to be unattainable or too ambitious. We're not satisfied with the status quo, and we're certainly not satisfied with doing things a certain way simply because that's how they were done in the past.

We expect our population to increase to over 80,000 in the next 20 years, and serving a diverse, growing community requires strategic thinkers, norm breakers, and passionate civil servants. In Niagara, Welland's growth leads every other municipality, and the City is becoming the region's heartbeat.

So, we invite you to author your chapter and contribute to the overall body of work the City of Welland is creating. At the City of Welland, your ideas are nurtured, your input is invited, a healthy work-life balance is available, and most importantly, your voice will make a difference.

POSITION OBJECTIVE:

Reporting to a Deputy Fire Chief, this role combines traditional executive assistant responsibilities with technical expertise and creative problem-solving, making it ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of business, technology, and design. While primarily focused on providing confidential administrative support to our management team, the Executive Assistant also manages departmental databases, identifies opportunities for process improvements, and develops and implements effective solutions. We value diverse perspectives and recognize the unique strengths each individual brings to our team. We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and flexible work environment where creativity, adaptability, and a results-driven mindset are celebrated.

This is a non-uniform position.
