THE TOWN OF AVON
Incorporated in 1978, the Town of Avon is a full-service municipality serving a population of 6,500 year-round residents across 8.42 square miles along with 2 million annual visitors to the Vail Valley. The Town operates under a Council-Manager form of government with a 2025 budget of $55M.

THE TOWN ENGINEER
The Town Engineer will be instrumental in the oversight of a newly created Engineering Department that has recently been reorganized as a stand-alone department. The Town’s development and construction activities continue to grow, including the Town Capital Projects Plan, the addition of 2-4 Community Housing Projections, and an increase of construction activity in the Village (at Avon) situated east of Avon’s commercial core. Avon’s climate action and water conservation goals are a priority as well.
Familiarity with local municipal government and capital construction project planning, oversight, implementation, and management is a must. The position serves as an executive leader who has an extremely high commitment to ethical standards, transparency, integrity, honesty, and exceptional professionalism.
