Cadime Finalist for Dartmouth TA job

Seekonk Town Administrator Shawn Cadime is being interviewed by the Town of Dartmouth’s Select Board this week.

Cadime is one of the finalists for the Town Administrator position. Each interview is expected to last 90 minutes and will be conducted in an open meeting at Town Hall, 400 Slocum Road, in Room 304. Dartmouth Community Television will record the interviews, and they will be available on the Dartmouth Community Media YouTube Channel once all interviews have been conducted.

 Cadime has been serving as Seekonk Town Administrator for over 10 years. Cadime had previously served as Fall River City Administrator. He ran an unsuccessful campaign for Mayor but now serves on the City Council.

In 2015, Cadime applied to become Town Administrator in Somerset. After he was offered the job, Seekonk Selectmen convinced Cadime to stay by promising a new contract with a bump in salary.

Cadime’s three year contract expires in 2025. His salary is $191, 830.

In 2022, Cadime received a positive job evaluation from the Board of Selectmen. “I’ve been very impressed with how you’re able to keep all the alligators at bay in the swamp, for sure,” then Chairman Justin Sullivan said. “We compliment you often on your financial acumen. You’ve dealt with a lot of issues over the last several years. We’ve seen some strong growth and some good contributions for the department heads here and we’re looking forward to see how that continues to develop.”
