EAST PROVIDENCE, RI – The City of East Providence is seeking a new director of public works.
The opening for director of public works comes after Stephen Coutu, who has lead the department since March 2001, accepted a position with the Bristol County Water Authority.
Prior to his role as DPW director, Coutu spent four years as engineer/deputy director of the department where he oversaw the daily management of DPW operations, supervised and inspected work performed by contractors and engineers and reviewed all subdivisions and development projects for conformance.
Coutu joins the Bristol County Water Authority as its new executive director and lead engineer. He will remain in his current role as DPW director until January and will assist in the transition of a new director.
“We thank Mr. Coutu for his years of service to the City of East Providence and years of dedication to the residents of East Providence,” Mayor Bob DaSilva said. “It will be difficult to
find someone of Steve’s caliber, but we will be diligently seeking someone as qualified as he to continue the department’s progress.
“We wish him well on his new endeavor,” DaSilva added.
