Saratoga Springs just approved new eligible lists for Assistant Facilities Manager and Senior Electrician, according to CitizenPortal.
That means the city is officially ready to fill key maintenance and electrical positions, and one provisional electrician who passed the exam now qualifies for a permanent spot.
City officials are also working on finding qualified candidates for engineering technician roles and are trying to reduce the number of temporary appointments overall.
For electricians, this shows something important: cities are actively looking for skilled, licensed professionals to step into long-term public service roles.
It’s a good reminder that local government jobs can offer solid pay, benefits, and steady work for those ready to take the next step in their careers.

City Establishes New Eligible Lists for Facilities Manager and Senior Electrician
The Saratoga Civil Service Commission convened on September 24, 2025, to discuss various personnel matters and updates regarding eligible lists for civil service positions.
The meeting began with the establishment of two eligible lists: one for the position of Assistant Facilities Manager, which includes two candidates, and another for Senior Electrician, featuring four candidates.
Notably, a provisional employee in the Senior Electrician role has successfully passed the exam and is now eligible for permanent appointment, marking a significant advancement in his career.
The discussion then shifted to the Senior Engineering Technician position. Currently, there are no active eligible lists for this title within the city.
However, a provisional appointment had been made recently for this role in the Department of Public Works (DPW). The provisional employee has taken an exam with Saratoga County, and the Commission is exploring the possibility of utilizing the county's eligible list due to the absence of a local list.
This process requires a comparison of minimum qualifications and examination subjects to ensure alignment between the city and county standards.
