City of Tucson Entry Level Firefighter Online Examination Development and Administration

The City of Tucson seeks proposals for developing and administering online entry-level firefighter examinations with remote proctoring. This aims to increase accessibility and broaden the applicant pool for the Fire Department. The examination will assess knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary for the Firefighter position, based on the City’s job description. It will evaluate mathematics, reading comprehension, mechanical aptitude, teamwork, interpersonal skills, and situational judgment. Applicants must be at least 18 years old, possess a high school diploma or equivalent, and have at least 24 months of licensed driving experience. They must also be able to obtain an Arizona driver’s license and have no DUI convictions in the last 24 months. The City of Tucson historically tests 500–1,000 applicants annually to establish an employment eligibility list for the Fire Training Academy. The selected contractor will work closely with City staff to provide these examinations.
