Municipal government managing 900K+ residents across public safety, infrastructure, and utilities
Fort Worth operates a sprawling municipal tech environment—GIS, Maximo, Accela, Oracle, and legacy AS/400 systems—to manage water/wastewater, roads, permitting, and code enforcement across 900,000+ residents. The hiring velocity is accelerating with balanced seniority (29 senior, 28 mid, 27 junior roles open), and the project pipeline reveals a utilities-heavy operational focus: water master planning, sewer rehabilitation, stormwater systems, and culvert design dominate active work. Pain points cluster around process modernization (streamlined reporting, emergency communications, complex billing) rather than pure technical debt—typical of a government agency mid-transformation.

The City of Fort Worth is a municipal government headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, serving a population exceeding 900,000 residents and ranked as the nation's fastest-growing city and 12th largest in the country. The organization operates across departments including operations, engineering, public safety, construction, environmental services, recreation, and legal functions. Core operational areas span water/wastewater infrastructure, stormwater management, roadway maintenance, permit administration, code enforcement, and emergency services. The tech stack reflects municipal complexity: GIS and ArcGIS for planning, Maximo for asset management, Accela for permitting, Oracle and PeopleSoft for enterprise systems, and CAD tools (AutoCAD, Revit, Bluebeam) for design and construction oversight.
Fort Worth uses Accela for permit and code enforcement management, supported by GIS/ArcGIS for spatial planning, Maximo for asset tracking, and Bluebeam for construction inspection documentation.
Active projects include water/wastewater plant rehabilitation, water master planning, stormwater infrastructure improvement, culvert design, storm drain pipe rehab, sewer rehabilitation, roadway/sidewalk paving, and channel restoration.
