WEST PALM BEACH, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2025) — Palm Beach County is holding its first-ever career fair today, bringing dozens of county departments under one roof as officials try to fill a wide range of open jobs. The event runs from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Hilton Hotel’s Majestic Ballroom, 130 Australian Avenue, in West Palm Beach.
County leaders say the goal is simple: show residents what Palm Beach County government actually does and the kinds of careers available at every level. Representatives from more than 30 departments are expected to attend, covering fields that stretch from engineering to emergency services and parks to public safety. Staff will also be on site to walk job seekers through county benefits, including health insurance, paid leave, and retirement options in the Florida Retirement System.
The fair comes as the county lists 97 open competitive positions across its agencies, according to its current job board Job Openings. Those openings range from entry-level support roles to highly specialized technical jobs.
Several of the most notable opportunities fall within airports, engineering, public works, public safety, water utilities, parks, planning, and youth services.
