The City of Midland, Texas (pop. 138,938) was founded as the midway point between Fort Worth and El Paso on the Texas and Pacific Railroad in 1881. In recent years, Midland has experienced a period of rapid growth and development, driven largely by the oil and gas industry. This has led to a boom in construction, as well as an influx of new residents and businesses.

Appointed by the City Council, the City Manager is the City’s chief administrative officer responsible for planning, managing operations, and leading a highly skilled city employee workforce to achieve goals established by the City Council and consistent with the City’s vision, mission, guiding principles, and priorities. With an annual departmental budget of $1.5M and the responsibility of supervising a Deputy City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Utilities, and Police Chief, the City Manager ensures that all employees in all departments/divisions/sections or units of the City deliver effective, efficient, responsive, and innovative services to the residents and visitors, while consistently and visibly engaging with the community.

Additionally, the City Manager attends all council meetings, prepares, submits, and administers the City’s annual budget and capital program, manages the implementation of the City’s Comprehensive Plan, reports to the City Council on the City’s financial health and administrative activities, and keeps the City Council fully informed of the City’s financial conditions and future needs, and recommends viable solutions and recommendations based on “best practices” and the best interest of the community and the organization.

The review of applications begins on May 15, 2023.
