The org is actively hiring across engineering, environmental services, construction, and public works with accelerating velocity—reflecting a shift toward operational modernization. The tech stack (Windows Server, ArcGIS, SQL Server, Salesforce, PeopleSoft) is typical for city-scale infrastructure management, but the focus on data integration with county partners and a new 311 resident platform suggests movement toward constituent-facing digital services.
