Staff Reports
Collierville currently has 34 open jobs covering a wide range of interests and skill levels. The Town provides benefits to full-time workers and some to part-time workers. There are several upper management positions coming open as people retire this year. The Director of Human Resources, Fire Chief, Assistant Town Planner, and even Town Administrator are all available as longtime Town employees move on to the next phase in their lives. That these soon to be retirees stayed as long as they have is a testament to the great work culture at the Town of Collierville. Many mid-level and entry-level jobs are available as well; from Accounting Technician to Codes Compliance Officer to Dispatcher, there are a wide variety of jobs covering the 13 departments that make up the government of the Town of Collierville.
Like other employers, the Town of Collierville has been affected by a shortage of applicants. But the standard is still high for the person that Town managers choose for each job. General Services Director Derek Honeycutt has been looking to hire a horticulturist to update and beautify the Town’s flower beds. He originally posted the job in January of 2021, and has had only two applicants. Neither one worked out, so the job is still available, and Honeycutt said he may redefine the job as an Arborist/Horticulturist if he doesn’t get any offers within the next few months. The General Services, Public Services, and the Fire Department departments currently have the most job openings.
