About City of Baldwin Park
What is the City of Baldwin Park?
The City of Baldwin Park is the municipal government of Baldwin Park, California — a San Gabriel Valley city of roughly 72,000 in Los Angeles County, incorporated in 1956 as California's 47th city and branding itself the "Hub of the San Gabriel Valley". The city operates its own police department; fire protection is contracted to the Los Angeles County Fire Department and the library is a county branch. Its own departments span Public Works (including in-house street sweeping), Recreation & Community Services with a full aquatics programme, Community Development, Finance, Human Resources and IT. Baldwin Park's claim to fame: it is the birthplace of In-N-Out Burger — the original 1948 stand was California's first drive-thru hamburger stand, and the company is still headquartered in the city.
Where will I work?
Baldwin Park City Hall at 14403 East Pacific Avenue. The city's own holiday-schedule page states: "City Hall office hours are 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday. City Hall is closed on Fridays." The city's job bulletins say the same thing in capital letters — the Human Resources/Risk Manager posting headlines "4/10 WORK SCHEDULE PLUS AN EXCELLENT BENEFITS PACKAGE" right under the salary line.
What is the City of Baldwin Park team like?
A civic workforce of roughly 450. Recent civilian postings span a Human Resources/Risk Manager, Program Specialist, Senior Engineer and Senior Recreation Leader. We list Baldwin Park's civilian professional positions — sworn police roles and part-time seasonal aquatics jobs run separate schedules and are excluded from our feed.
