Municipal government operations across utilities, public works, and community services
City of Garland operates a mid-sized municipal government (1,001–5,000 employees) centered on water/wastewater utilities, public works, and community health. The tech stack is heavily Microsoft-centric (Office 365, SQL Server, Access) with industrial infrastructure tooling (SCADA, AutoCAD) and enterprise platforms (Workday, Salesforce). Current pain points cluster around asset management (pavement, drainage), aging infrastructure maintenance, and regulatory compliance—all active hiring focus areas across operations, engineering, and construction roles.
