The full list of hiring incentives is available at cabq.gov/bonus.

“A job with the City is more than just a paycheck, it’s a pathway to fulfilling work and that makes a positive impact for our families,” said Mayor Tim Keller. “We have positions open in just about all of our departments, and we know there are qualified, committed people in our community who would be a great fit for our team, and would benefit from the incentives and support we have to offer.”

Some of the positions the City is looking to hire for are:

• Positions that require a commercial driver’s license, an engineering background, or a finance background.

• A Firefighter Paramedic can get up to a $15,000 bonus for completing training and sticking with the department for one year.
• ACS responders, heavy equipment operators, and others, can get a $1,000 signing bonus after six months.

Every City position comes with top-notch benefits, like health and dental insurance, as well as a flexible spending account, a 529 Plan, life insurance, paid time off, and much more. Most positions also qualify for the generous State Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) retirement plan. Funding for the hiring incentives comes from savings created by vacancies.
