City of Titusville Jobs

City of Titusville openings are posted on the city Careers Portal and the city website, and applications are taken online, with Human Resources at 321-567-3729 for questions.

This guide quotes no current opening, title or salary; the city Careers Portal is the current list. The Titusville Personnel Policies Manual, revised 07/14/2026, sets the rule behind it: it is city policy to post every open position on the city website for a minimum of five working days and to use an online application process, with the closing date and time specified in each job announcement (City of Titusville Personnel Policies Manual). When a vacancy opens, the manual says the Careers Portal is updated and the city website is updated, with promotional bids where they apply.

For help, the City of Titusville FAQ tells job seekers to contact the Human Resources Department at 321-567-3729 for employment information and an application form (City of Titusville employment FAQ). City Hall, listed on the same page, is at 555 S Washington Avenue, Titusville, FL 32796, main phone 321-567-3775. Because each announcement carries its own closing time, the practical tip is to read the closing line first: a posting may run for only the five working day minimum.

At the City of Titusville, the hiring department reviews applications, builds a short list that considers veterans' preference, interviews, and then makes a conditional offer that depends on background screening and any job related examination.

The Titusville Personnel Policies Manual lays out the sequence in its Recruitment and Hiring section (City of Titusville Personnel Policies Manual):

Section 5.1 of the Titusville manual says employment is based on merit, ability and fitness, shown by training, experience, certification and similar standards from the job description, by post offer examinations that can include physical, psychological and polygraph tests based on job requirements, and by background screening that verifies previous employment and education and checks driving histories and credit where the job calls for it. Veterans' preference is state law, not a city courtesy: Florida Statutes section 295.07 requires the state and its political subdivisions to give preference in appointment and retention to eligible veterans and certain family members (Florida Statutes 295.07).

City of Titusville jobs pay on grade schedules, new hires usually start at the minimum of the grade, and payday is every other Thursday.

The Titusville manual states that pay is based on grade schedules in the Job Classification and Pay Plan adopted by the City Manager, and that the pay rate at appointment is the minimum for the position grade (City of Titusville Personnel Policies Manual). Higher starting pay may be considered when experience, skill, training or labor market conditions justify it; offers above the minimum need the concurrence of the Human Resources Director and are made by the Human Resources Department. A promotion brings a raise to at least the minimum of the new range or 10%, whichever is greater, up to the range maximum.

The official payday for all City of Titusville employees is every other Thursday, and the manual says there are generally twenty six pay periods in a year. Besides required federal deductions, members of the Police and Fire Pension Plan and of the General Employees' Pension Plan are required by city ordinance to contribute a percentage of salary to their plan. The manual does not print a percentage, so the rate is a question for Human Resources before accepting an offer.

Probation for City of Titusville employees under the Personnel Policies is six months, while union contracts set their own probation periods for represented employees.

The Titusville manual defines a probationary employee as one who has not yet completed the probationary period, and states that the period for employees covered by the Personnel Policies is six (6) months, that collective bargaining agreements define probationary periods in each contract, and that a department head can ask to extend it with the Human Resources Director's concurrence (City of Titusville Personnel Policies Manual). A represented employee is one whose terms and conditions are governed by a collective bargaining agreement, and the manual's scope section says the policies apply to all city employees except where noted or as governed by such an agreement.

Other rules a Titusville applicant meets early: the minimum age for a regular full time position is 18, and 16 for temporary or seasonal positions. There are no residency requirements except that some employees may need to live within a set distance for call outs, department heads may be required to live in the city or a set area, and police officers and firefighters must answer mandatory call back wherever they live. A regular full time employee works a budgeted schedule of forty hours a week, and a regular part time employee 39 hours or less.

Regular City of Titusville employees earn vacation that grows with service, holiday pay, a floating holiday after probation and tuition aid, and temporary and contractual staff are excluded from health and life insurance and the pension.

Vacation becomes usable after six months of service, and the Titusville manual sets this accrual schedule for employees covered by the Personnel Policies; represented employees follow their labor agreements (City of Titusville Personnel Policies Manual):

The maximum vacation balance is the annual accrual plus 120 hours. Tuition aid in the Titusville program covers up to 156 hours of course work toward an associate, bachelor's or master's degree, at up to $200 per credit hour for an associate degree, $300 undergraduate and $400 graduate, subject to funding, and the manual notes up to $5,250 in tax free tuition assistance. Temporary and contractual employees are not eligible for health and life insurance, floating holidays or pension plan participation, and probationary employees cannot take floating holidays.

The City of Titusville runs two defined benefit pension plans, one for general employees and one for police officers and firefighters, and posts their actuarial valuation reports on its Retirement Plan page.

The Titusville Human Resources Retirement Plan page lists the 2025 pension documents for each plan: a history of investment returns compared with assumptions and portfolio asset allocations, a Section 112.64 Florida Statutes compliance report and an actuarial valuation report, for the General Employees plan and for the Police Officers and Firefighters plan (City of Titusville Retirement Plan page). Earlier years, such as the 2024 annual reports and valuations, sit on the same page.

The page also explains a state rule: local governments that sponsor a defined benefit plan and keep a website must link to the Department of Management Services website. That duty comes from Florida Statutes section 112.665, which has the department provide a fact sheet for each participating local government defined benefit plan summarizing its actuarial status, including a 5 year history of funded ratios, and requires plan sponsors with websites to link to it (Florida Statutes 112.665). For a Titusville job seeker weighing an offer, that state fact sheet summarizes the actuarial status of the plan the job would join.

The FY2026 adopted budget funds 601.0 full time equivalent positions across the City of Titusville, including 160.0 in Police and 132.0 in Water Resources.

The budget's five year history of budgeted personnel gives the city total as 552.0 positions in FY2022 and 601.0 in FY2026 (City of Titusville FY2026 Adopted Budget). Its FY2026 column shows Police at 160.0, Water Resources at 132.0 across six branches, Fire and Emergency Services at 87.0, Solid Waste at 36.0, Public Works at 34.0, Community Development at 27.0, Stormwater Utility Management at 19.0, Fleet Management at 12.0 and Building Permits at 11.0. The budget notes for FY2026 list 2.0 added police officers, a fire inspector and 3.0 firefighter/EMT positions added mid year, a senior systems analyst and a public information officer.

Those figures are from the FY2026 book; the City of Titusville home page now says the FY27 Adopted Budget is online, so position counts may have moved (City of Titusville home page). Fire jobs in Titusville are paid positions: the city FAQ says the department is a paid, career fire department that does not use volunteer firefighters, though it does use community volunteers in non firefighting roles such as receptionist, data entry, recordkeeping and logistics (City of Titusville employment FAQ).
