The City of Wetaskiwin, Alberta, is looking for a new Deputy Fire Chief to help lead its public safety team. Applications for the senior leadership position officially opened on March 14, 2026.
The role offers a salary between $100,000 and $125,000 per year. This hiring process is a priority for the community because the fire department uses a small leadership structure that includes only one full-time Fire Chief and one full-time Deputy Fire Chief.
The new leader will work with Fire Chief Amber Coleman to manage Wetaskiwin Fire Services. The department is made up of full-time staff and several firefighters who are paid when they are called to help with emergencies.
This position also plays a part in providing safety services to the County of Wetaskiwin through a partnership between the city and the rural region. The city is seeking a strategic leader who can handle both long-term planning and immediate emergency responses.
