Parker County Emergency Services District No. 1 is pleased to announce internal/external job opportunities for ten full time engineer & firefighter positions. We operate out of 8 staffed fire stations, providing fire suppression and rescue services to a rapidly growing population of over 75,000 residents across 320 square miles of Parker County. ESD 1 also operates the Parker County Fire Alarm Center, a fleet services division, and is in construction phase of a new training campus.
ESD 1 is a rapidly developing department, building on the core principals of being mission minded, creating and maintaining a chosen and purposeful culture, and standards-based performance. ESD 1 experiences almost double the national average of fire occurrence, operating within a host of challenges including diverse suburban and rural demographics with significant wildland/urban interface threats, rapid growth, energy/petroleum facilities, class 1 railroad, major highway thoroughfares, and substantially developed areas with no water supply or fire code enforcement.
We seek students of the trade who are confident in core competencies and will be ambassadors for the core values, culture, and standard of service our department provides. The selection process will consist of a resume, application, essay submission, panel interview, physical agility test, and final interview with the Fire Chief.
Internal candidates are current full-time and part-time employees who meet the requirements for the position by the date of appointment. External candidates are any person meeting the posted requirements for the position by the date of hire. Interview questions will be sourced from the Firefighter Rescue Survey, County Fire Tactics, and Fire Service Leadership – Formal Mentoring for the Fire Service. Candidates may apply for all positions they are qualified for.
