Employment
The city currently has over 250 full-time positions making it one of the larger employers in the county. Because we are a full-service city that provides utility service, there is a very diversified range of job classifications in the city. Positions vary from construction and labor, clerical, groundskeeping, public safety, and mechanical to other technical fields such as surveying, engineering, welding, electrical, accounting, telemetering, laboratory technicians, programming, and management.City job classifications are varied and require a mix of skills, education, and experience. Positions generally require high school diplomas at a minimum. Many positions require additional technical or professional training and education including 2 or 4-year college degrees or advanced degrees.
Employees are trained regularly on job specific skills, and some employees earn certification in their areas of responsibility by obtaining advanced educational credits or licenses.
