We are looking for someone who:

• Takes initiative, works independently, and proactively looks for ways to improve systems and service.
• Is eager to learn new technologies and stay current with industry standards and best practices.
• Delivers excellent customer service, communicates clearly with non‑technical staff, and builds positive working relationships throughout the organization.

• Works well as part of a team, demonstrating flexibility, cooperation, and a strong commitment to the City’s goals and values.

• Equivalent to an associate’s degree in computer science, information systems, or a closely related field.

• Valid California Class C driver’s license at time of hire and throughout employment.
• IT/IS certifications are preferred.
• This position is required to obtain security clearance to operate in a public safety environment with service to the City's police and fire departments.

If you thrive in a collaborative, service‑focused environment and enjoy solving problems that help keep City operations running smoothly, we encourage you to apply.
