Municipal government serving 250K+ residents across utilities, public safety, and community services
City of Lubbock operates a 2,100-person municipal workforce managing utilities infrastructure, public safety, and community services for the 11th-largest city in Texas. The tech stack combines legacy enterprise systems (Oracle, Windows Server, Active Directory) with geospatial tools (ArcGIS, ArcFM) and specialized utility software (PSS/E, FME) — a footprint typical of mid-sized utility operators managing both IT stability and infrastructure modernization. Current hiring concentrates in operations and engineering roles, with visible pressure on billing system reliability and emergency-response coordination.
