City of Northampton careers
2 verified openings
Downtown trash in Northampton gets collected by people rather than by diesel truck, and the parking meters downtown run on solar. The city has put geothermal heat pumps in its Senior Center, air-source heat pumps in the James House Community Learning Center and the public works administration building, and photovoltaic installations at schools across town. Residents and businesses signing up through the GreenUp program have earned the city over $140,000 for clean energy projects, and the City Council adopted as-of-right siting and an expedited permit route for renewable energy facilities.
The buildings on that solar list are city job sites too: R. K. Finn Ryan Road, Bridge Street, Leeds, and JFK Middle schools, Smith Vocational and Agricultural High School, the Senior Center, and the James House. Someone maintains all of it. Public works runs the trucks and the crews, the Climate Action and Project Administration office runs the energy projects, and the rest of the payroll sits in the departments at City Hall on Main Street. The schools on that solar list, Smith Vocational included, post their openings on a list of their own.
