Are You Ready? Apply.
Submit an online application, résumé (required), and supplemental questionnaire at www.calopps.org or to: San Mateo Consolidated Fire Department, Human Resources Department, 2121 S. El Camino Real, Building B, Suite 100, San Mateo, CA 94403. Recruitment will close on Friday, February 6, 2026 @ 5:00 p.m. or upon receipt of the first 50 applications, résumés, and supplemental questionnaires, whichever occurs first.
Examination Process:
All applications, résumés, and supplemental questionnaires received will be reviewed for minimum qualifications. A resume does not take the place of a completed application, including work history. A limited number of the most highly qualified applicants will be invited to participate in the examination process, which will consist of an oral panel interview, tentatively scheduled for the week of February 17, 2026.
An eligible list will be established for those who pass the examination process. Current and future vacancies may be filled from this list. The list will remain in effect for at least twelve months with the possibility of an extension for an additional 12 months. Once placed on an eligible list, and at the time a vacancy occurs, eligible candidates may be contacted by the Department and scheduled for additional department interviews.
