Where can I find the current job openings?

You can visit our Employment page.

We also have a job line that you can call to hear the list of our current job openings. The phone number is (760) 839-4585. The job line is updated every time we open a new position. 

Job Descriptions (NOTE: These are not open jobs but rather a listing of all jobs that are within the City of Escondido's organization.) If you are interested in any of these positions, you can submit a job interest card that will be kept on file until the position is opened for recruitment. You will be notified when that position is open.

We also have a clipboard in the Human Resources lobby with job descriptions we receive from other cities and agencies. If you are interested in any of these positions, you must go to the particular agency advertising the job to receive an application form.

May I leave an application or resume on file?

Unfortunately, we cannot maintain applications and resumes on file for positions that are not currently available. However, you can submit a job interest card online. These are kept on file for one year and will provide you an email notification if that job begins accepting applications during that time.

Do you have volunteer or internship positions?

If you are interested in volunteering or working as an intern for the City of Escondido, visit our Volunteer/Intern Program page.

Do you provide Veterans' Preference Credit?

Yes, the City provides Veterans' Preference Credit for eligible individuals who meet the following criteria:

  • Served in the U.S. armed forces
  • Received an honorable discharge
  • Did not retire from military service
  • Seeking employment with the City of Escondido for the first time

Guard and Reserve active duty for training purposes does not qualify for veterans' preference. Proof of eligibility (copy of DD-214) must be submitted at time of application, or later if the promulgation of the eligibility list will not be delayed. Veterans' preference credit will only be applied to eligible applicants who attained a passing grade (total score exclusive of credit) on the final open examination.
