• Reviews project specifications and estimates
• Other duties as assigned – which may include: identify, assess, and troubleshoot traffic signal problems and makes recommendations for repair

THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT

The Public Works Department plays a key role in shaping the community and its future, as Fremont has several transformative land use and transportation projects underway to support the City’s vision of being “strategically urban”. Public Works is responsible for engineering, transportation, civic facilities, inspections, and maintenance for the City. The Engineering Division within Public Works helps deliver land development projects, executes the design and construction of public projects, and maintains and enhances the City’s transportation network.

Fremont’s new 5-year CIP has grown to a value of nearly $200 million and includes major investments related to infrastructure rehabilitation, pavement rehabilitation and maintenance, improved facilities for walking and bicycling, and infrastructure investments supporting the vibrancy of Downtown Fremont and Fremont’s Innovation District.  Private development in Fremont is active with the design and construction of projects totaling over 5000 housing units, 3 million square feet of office/industrial development and a 5 million square foot expansion of the Tesla Motors factory.   

Fremont is “on the rise” with a bold plan to develop Downtown Fremont into a vibrant mixed-use district, including a new civic center. Other key projects include the Warm Springs “Innovation District” where over 850 acres are transforming into a mixed-use, transit-oriented employment center home to advance manufacturing companies.   Public Works is managing the construction of an iconic pedestrian access bridge which will cross over Union Pacific Railroad to connect the new Warm Springs BART station to the nearby employment hub—home to the Tesla factory, Fremont’s largest employer.
