If you’re reading this and you’ve thought about working for Gardner at the DPW, now’s the time before the whole world finds out about the increases in pay. Mayor Nicholson provides details in the interview. “So I do believe that the rates are going to be a lot more competitive in terms of the job market that we have and really see a lot of things changing for the city so that we can get people in those positions. Because quite frankly, in the end, it’s a public safety concern too. If we don’t have people plowing the roads during the wintertime, then people can’t get out and about. So I think we’re going to see a lot of benefits from those adjustments that we’ve made as a result of those union negotiations.” The City of Gardner pays 75% of health insurance. There are other time off benefits and the big one: a vested pension after 10 years.
Mayor Nicholson spoke of the Gardner Team and the pride he has in public safety personnel. The mayor told us of other opportunities in serving the City such as Board and Commissions. Nicholson outlined how he manages the Gardner Team. The City of Gardner website is always a great place to start: Visit the jobs page, CLICK HERE.
