Cedar Park Firefighter Hiring 2026: List Through 2027

They hire firefighters off a civil-service list, not off a standing NeoGov card. The Entry-Level Firefighter Eligibility List says the exam was June 26, 2026. The list is in effect until June 26, 2027, or until it is exhausted (Texas Local Government Code 143.025). This unit re-fetched that PDF (HTTP 200). Do not print the names on it.

That window is closed. Do not treat Apply Today on that flyer as a live card. The 2023 entry list still linked on the same page is not this list. Packet page 2 printed deadline June 5, 2026, 11:59 PM. Packet page 3 printed June 6, 2026, 11:59pm. Both dates are past. This page does not pick a winner as a live rule.

Official hub: cedarparktexas.gov/751/Fire-Department. Civil service: cedarparktexas.gov/367/Civil-Service---Police-Fire-Job-Opportun. Do not use cedarparktexas.gov/departments/fire or /departments/fire-department (both 404). Department listing: Cedar Park Fire Department. The live slug is cedar-park-fire-department. Do not use /departments/cedar-park-fire-rescue. Texas order of operations: how to become a firefighter in Texas. TCFP explained: what is TCFP certification. EMT path: how to become an EMT in Texas.

If you sat the June 26 exam, the list runs through June 26, 2027 or until it is exhausted. If you did not, bookmark NeoGov and civil service and turn on Job Notification. Do not apply on a board with no fire card.

What You Need Before You Apply

The June 26, 2026 packet is titled Certified & Non-Certified. Age is 18 to 35 by date of hire. High school diploma or GED from the issuing agency (college papers will not substitute). Valid driver license, and able to get a Texas Class B within one year.

TCFP certification, or proof you are in or have finished a TCFP-approved basic recruit academy, is attached if applicable. EMT-Basic from TDSHS or the National Registry, or proof you are in a TDSHS-approved EMT-Basic course, is attached if applicable. That is two doors, not TCFP plus EMT as the only door.

Veteran points: 5 points on a passing 70, with a Member-4 DD-214 showing at least 180 days of active service.

The written exam for that sitting was Friday, June 26, 2026, 9:00 a.m., Cedar Park Recreation Center, 1435 Main Street. Park in back of the building. That sitting is over.

Does Cedar Park Use CPAT?

No. The packet calls it a physical ability test. Civil service embeds a Cedar Park Fire Department Candidate Physical Testing Process video. Do not bring a CPAT card as a Cedar Park rule.

How Long Is the Academy?

The city has not published a recruit-academy week count on the packet. Do not use 12 to 16 weeks. Austin Community College is the nearest-academy cell on the directory row. It is not a required first step while the fire card is empty. Non-certified candidates were in the last window.

Stations, headcount, and retirement

About Us lists five fire stations:

• Station 1, 503 Brushy Creek Road
• Station 2, 1570 Cypress Creek Road

Hub: ISO Class 1. Fire Chief James Mallinger, 512-401-5224. Do not print a sworn headcount; that figure is unpublished on the hub and About Us. Shift on the flyer is 48/96, not 24/48. Chapter 143 civil service since October 2003. Meet and Confer with the fire department under Chapter 142.

Pension on the packet and flyer is TMRS, 7 percent, 2-to-1 match, COLA.

Starting pay is on the Fire Dept Pay Plan FY26. This guide does not print a dollar.

What To Do While the Window Is Closed

Do not apply for a firefighter job that is not posted. If you sat the June 26 exam, the list runs through June 26, 2027 or until it is exhausted. If you did not, bookmark NeoGov and civil service and turn on Job Notification. Ignore the June 5 Apply Today flyer. Confirm the live civil service page before you treat any 2023 list or June 2025 sentence as this cycle. Ready to Serve is the candidate tracker for certifications, PAT fitness, and application materials.
