Employment Application Process

The City of Eureka only accepts applications for positions which are currently vacant, except for Communications Dispatcher and Police Officer, which are accepted on an ongoing basis, with periodic testing dates.

A separate City application form is required for each position. Some positions require a supplemental questionnaire be completed and submitted as well. To request materials for a current job opening, please (1) call the Personnel Department Jobline at (707) 441-4134, (2) send your request via Email, or (3) apply online.

All the required materials must be received in the Personnel Department by the final filing deadline. Postmarks are not accepted. Cover letters, resumes, and/or additional materials will not be accepted unless specifically requested, AND WILL BE RETURNED IF SUBMITTED WHEN NOT REQUESTED.

Testing Process

Applicants will be notified for testing of the position as it is scheduled. Successful applicants will remain on an eligibility list for one year from the date of testing. The eligibility list created from this recruitment may be used to fill full-time, part-time, temporary and grant positions.

The City of Eureka is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer and a drug free workplace.

Job Interest Cards

The City of Eureka accepts interest cards for any positions which are not currently open. A separate card must be completed for each position in which you are interested. These cards are held on file for a period of one year. If the classification becomes vacant during that period and a recruitment is scheduled to fill the position, you will be notified by the Personnel Department that a vacancy exists, and, if still interested, you can then request application materials.

Note: If your address changes after you have submitted job interest information, please be sure to notify us so we can update your card(s).
