Good first step: Act Harris County Precinct 1 Jobs Page
Visit the Harris County Precinct 1 website and look for the careers or jobs section to apply online today.
Harris County Precinct One is looking for dedicated public servants to join a team of nearly 400 professionals. Commissioner Rodney Ellis's office hires career-minded people who want to improve life for Harris County residents — and they're committed to fair pay and an inclusive workplace.
The office hires across many divisions and specialties. Positions range from entry-level to senior roles. Every opening lists minimum education and experience requirements. Meeting those minimums gets your application into review; the hiring team then looks for the strongest overall fit for each role.
Start by browsing open positions on the Harris County Job Portal. Read each posting carefully so you understand the minimum requirements before you apply. Attach a resume and cover letter that highlight experience not obvious from the application form alone. Then be patient — updates come electronically, and the team moves thoughtfully through each step: application review, interviews (phone, video, or in-person), a background check, and a written job offer.
