JOB POSTING Fire Marshal / Code Enforcement Officer City of Manvel - Manvel, TX The City of Manvel is located in northern Brazoria County at the intersection of State Highway 288 and State Highway 6, just 18 miles south of downtown Houston. Manvel is rapidly changing from a rural community to a suburban city and is one of the largest cities in land size in the Houston area with more than 40 square miles inside the city limits and extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). With numerous residential and commercial developments, both planned and under construction, Manvel (population of 7,000+ inside the city limits and 10,000+ in the ETJ) is looking for a leader who can direct the Fire Marshal/Code Enforcement department that will serve a growing city. Located only a short drive from the Texas Medical Center, Rice University, the University of Houston, and Houston’s Hobby Airport, Manvel offers access to all the amenities of a major metropolitan area but is far enough away to offer the relaxed lifestyle that is in keeping with a family-oriented community. The Manvel Fire Marshal/Code Enforcement Department will be rapidly growing in the near future and needs innovative leadership that can help plan and lead this expansion. The Department provides arson investigation, construction plan review, fire inspections, fire prevention, and code enforcement services in the city limits and extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Manvel. The Fire Marshal/Code Enforcement Officer works under the administrative direction of the city manager and is responsible for all operations of the department, including maintaining effective communication with the city manager. The successful candidate will have broad experience in all areas of fire marshal and code enforcement include criminal investigation and administration with a successful record of effectively managing the activities and functions of the fire marshal and code enforcement department. Special emphasis will be given to experience in a rapidly growing department. Texas Municipal League
