Harris County Precinct One, led by Commissioner Rodney Ellis, is looking for dedicated public servants to join a team of nearly 400 employees. The office works to deliver responsive, equitable service to everyone in Harris County. If you care about your community and want a career that makes a real difference, this could be a great fit.
Open positions span a range of career fields. The Human Resources team reviews every application against posted education and experience requirements, then forwards the strongest candidates to hiring managers. The process includes application review, phone screens, interviews (one-on-one or panel), and a background check. Some roles may also require a presentation or writing sample.
Start by browsing open positions on the Harris County Job Portal. When you find a role that fits, apply online — that is the only way to apply. Attach a resume and cover letter to highlight experience that goes beyond the standard application fields. Before your interview, spend time exploring the Precinct One website so you understand its mission and divisions. Updates during the process will come by email, so watch your inbox.
