When Mike VanAlstyne left his position with the City of Dauphin to take a job with Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure, the search for a new director of Public Works began.
The search was rigorous. It landed on Bernardo Pasco. Originally from the Philippines, Pasco worked 22 years in that country as a municipal engineer. On December 31, 2025, Bernardo worked his final day with the City of Dauphin.
"We appreciate Bernardo's time with us," said Sharla Griffiths, city manager. "He has decided to move on to another opportunity outside of Dauphin."
The search for a new director of Public Works has begun.
"Somebody who has an engineering or civil technician type of background," said Griffiths. "Someone who knows about Public Works, utilities, and someone who can manage people. Upper management, if you will. We want someone who looks at the big picture."
If you have plenty of experience, but a lack of education, or vice versa, Sharla says the City is willing to work with the right candidate. If you are interested, you can apply for the position at Public Works.
Your application should include your resume and cover letter.
Sharla has been with the City for 14 and a half years. She remembered the community as a child and, upon returning, jumped on board. She has never regretted the decision to work for the City of Dauphin.
"The people that we have working here are top-notch. We've had supportive councils that really let us do our jobs," ended Griffiths. "We are financially managed well. That means we can do the things that we need to do. The appreciation from the public for a job well done is huge towards job satisfaction."
The deadline to apply is January 20.
