PWD is one of many departments that make up the City of Philadelphia\u2019s<\/strong> municipal government. Our central Office of Human Resources (OHR)<\/a> oversees the civil service hiring process. Civil service positions may require certain documents for your application, such as a college transcript, or may require you to go through a competitive testing process.
