What is Public Works?Public Works, often called “the heart of the community” is that part of cities, counties and the state that supports the construction, maintenance and ongoing operations of infrastructure such as highways and roads, bridges, dams, flood control channels, parks and public spaces. Public Works departments also respond to emergencies such as floods, fire, storm damage or other natural disasters.

How is the job market?This is a fast-growing public sector. The continuing development of metropolitan and suburban areas, the need for new or updated infrastructure and the recent passing of a multibillion dollar bond measure means there is a lot of work to be done-as well as ongoing repair. There are new jobs and promotion opportunities created due to planned retirements of the “baby boomer” generation.

There are also opportunities in the private sector, with consulting firms in engineering, construction contractors and project managers.
