Step One: Find an open job that matches your qualifications. A current list of open positions can be viewed at the bottom of this page, immediately below these instructions. Open positions are also posted in the Personnel Department and in the lobby of City Hall. The Personnel Department and City Hall can be located using our City Facilities map. All positions remain open until filled unless otherwise noted.
When you find a job that interests you, click on the Position Title to view a brief job description and special requirements (if applicable). You can also click on the job's Benefits Category to view a document providing an overview of benefits for that position. (Please note: Part-time and seasonal employees are not eligible for benefits.)
The City of Sunrise will only accept employment applications and resumes for currently open positions. Please do not submit an application if you do not meet the minimum requirements stated on the job posting.
Step Two: Obtain a job application. In person. Visit the City of Sunrise Personnel Department. Online. Download the Application Packet for the position you are interested in by clicking on the corresponding Download Application link below on the right-most column of the job listings chart. This application has been specially formatted so that you may type directly into the document using your computer keyboard. For your convenience, you can fill in your responses and then print the finished application. Be sure to add your signature by hand. By mail. You may request that an application be mailed to you only if you do not live in Broward County. Contact the Personnel Department at (954) 838-4522.
Step Three: Complete and submit your application. Application instructions for each job are provided as part of that position's Application Packet. Be sure to review the Application Checklist provided before submitting your packet. It is the applicant's responsibility to complete the application in its entirety and provide any additional documentation requested.
To apply for more than one position at a time, submit a separate Minimum Requirements Form for each position - along with your completed application. You must list each position's title on the first page of the application, under section one (1).
NOTE: POLICE AND FIRE POSITIONS EACH HAVE SPECIAL APPLICATION PACKETS THAT MUST BE USED WHEN APPLYING FOR THOSE JOBS. PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, AS INCOMPLETE PACKETS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.
Generally, completed applications may be returned to the Personnel Department in person or by mail. Faxed or e-mailed applications cannot be accepted, because the City must have your original signature on file.
However, if you are applying for a position that requires a typing test, you must take the test when you submit your application. This means that applications for jobs requiring typing tests must be submitted in person, not via mail. Typing tests are administered at the Personnel Department from Monday through Friday, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. The test takes approximately 10 minutes. No appointment is necessary.
Please visit our Personnel FAQs page for a timeline of what happens after your application is submitted to the Personnel Department.
