The City of Camrose has opened seven new job postings spanning a range of departments, with roles closing throughout July 2026. The openings include a manager for the information technology department, an economic development officer focused on helping existing local businesses grow, and an administrative support position in corporate services. These full-time, permanent jobs are part of a broader hiring push that also includes firefighting, aquatics, and accounting roles.
The economic development officer will work specifically on business retention and expansion, a priority for the city. According to the city’s Economic Development Office, four out of every five jobs in a community are created by the growth of existing businesses. The office works directly with local companies to help them expand and hire more people. The administrative support 3 role will be housed in corporate services and includes health and safety duties. The manager of information technology job will oversee the city’s technology systems.
Applications for the economic development officer and administrative support 3 positions are open until July 17. The IT manager posting closes a week later on July 24. The city has also posted a full-time, permanent supervisor of accounting job with no closing deadline, a full-time term GIS technician role that closes June 26, and paid on-call firefighter and casual aquatics cashier positions that remain open until filled. All seven jobs are listed on the City of Camrose careers page.
Residents can apply by viewing the postings and downloading a PDF application form from the city’s website. Human Resources can be reached at City Hall, 5204 – 50 Avenue, Camrose, AB T4V 0S8, by phone at 780.672.4426 or by email at [email protected]. The city, a regional hub of about 20,000 people in central Alberta, has a diverse economy built on agriculture, health care, and manufacturing. Job Bank reports that the Camrose-Drumheller economic region had the highest unemployment rate in Alberta in May 2026, while the province’s rate sat at 6.6 percent. Strong hiring activity across Alberta in 2025 was driven by population growth and economic expansion.
The city’s financial picture remains stable. A June 22 council meeting update noted that, as of April 2026, the city is not forecasting a year-end surplus or deficit for 2026 and that its reserves are in a strong position to support infrastructure projects and future replacement needs.
