The posting

Are you an experienced, community-minded fire service leader ready to command a full-service department in one of Texas’s most vital industrial and coastal cities? If so, apply to be the City of Port Arthur’s next Fire Chief! We’re looking for an engaging, visionary leader who is:

• A proven fire service executive with command experience in a comparable or larger, combination fire-and-rescue organization

• A trusted communicator who builds credibility and collaboration across the department, the community, and local, state, and federal partners

• Committed to mentoring, training, and developing a diverse, professional workforce

Port Arthur is a coastal Texas city with a diverse, small-town feel and a strong industrial backbone. Known for its rich Cajun, Creole, and Vietnamese heritage, Port Arthur offers residents an affordable lifestyle with access to nature, culture, and economic opportunity.

Reporting to the City Manager, the Fire Chief is the Fire Department’s Chief Administrative Officer in all matters relating to the office’s official powers and duties. The Chief plans, organizes, and directs all department activities — fire suppression, prevention, emergency medical first response, and support services — while leading personnel, managing the budget, and coordinating with other departments and outside agencies. As Chief Operational Executive, the Chief leads programs and activities consistent with the mission, vision, and values of the City, continuously improving service-delivery efficiency and response to meet or exceed community needs. The Chief responds to major incidents, directs suppression activities, serves as a management representative in collective bargaining, and provides highly complex staff assistance to the Assistant City Manager, City Manager, and City Council.

The salary range for this position is $133,203 – $195,561, depending on experience and qualifications.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
