The City of Madison employs more than 3,000 people who provide services to City residents. As an employer the City strives to provide a work environment where:

Come join us in this effort!

Positions in the City's 40 departments cover a wide range of responsibilities, including clerical, general laboring, technical or paraprofessional and professional positions. Employees are based at 55 sites, with many "field" positions assigned to providing services in all parts of the city.

Permanent full-time and part-time positions provide the full range of City of Madison employment benefits. Hourly positions—ongoing, seasonal or connected with a specific project—are not permanent positions and provide limited benefits. Hourly positions do, however, provide opportunities to compete for City positions announced only to current City employees, including positions open only to members of specific bargaining units (unions).
