Fleet Mechanic I or II

The City government’s support for community and economic development makes Northglenn a hub of safe neighborhoods and business activity. The quality of planning, development, services and volunteers creates a distinctive sense of community that is uncommon in many modern cities. Many of the original residents who lived in Northglenn when it incorporated in 1969 are still here.

The community is connected by the well-planned Greenway Trail System. The over 35 miles of off-street walking and biking paths connect with larger trail systems that lead throughout the Denver metro area. Northglenn is only 15 minutes north of downtown Denver and all of the events and attractions of a major metropolitan city. Go east on Interstate 70 and Denver International Airport is only 30 minutes away.

Turn to the west and the majestic Rocky Mountains tower over the landscape and are a mere half hour away by car.
