The Town of Hinton is looking to fill four job openings that span from administrative help to hands-on utility work, offering local residents a chance to join the municipal workforce. The positions include a casual administration assistant, a casual temporary support worker, and two utility roles, all listed as open until filled on the town’s website.
The casual administration assistant, posted March 16, reports to the accounting manager and focuses on customer service by handling inquiries from the public. The support worker role, posted May 22, is a casual temporary position funded through Family and Community Support Services, or FCSS, a provincial grant program. The town says this job may continue until March 31, 2027, depending on funding.
On the public works side, the town needs a utility lead hand and a utility operator II, both posted February 10. Reporting to the operations manager, the lead hand directs daily activities of staff in the utilities service, while the utility operator II handles daily maintenance for the community’s water distribution and sanitary sewer systems. The utility jobs come as Hinton plans for major water infrastructure upgrades, including a new water treatment plant estimated at $80 million, with the town gradually taking over responsibility for drinking water treatment.
The hiring comes during a period of change for the town. Mayor Brian LaBerge took office in October 2025, and council is preparing for a by-election on August 27 to fill the seat left vacant by the death of Councillor Bill McDonald in April 2026. The town’s 2026 budget, approved in December 2025, sets aside $37 million for operations and $14.9 million for capital projects, reflecting ongoing investment in services and infrastructure.
Residents interested in applying can find details on the Town of Hinton jobs page. All four positions remain open until filled.
