What are the procedures for applying for a job with the City or Irvine?The first step in the process is applying. Applications are accepted online. Applications are screened for minimum qualifications and the most qualified applicants will be notified if they are to continue to the next phase.
Candidates should refer to the job flyer for instructions on the application and examination process. The City establishes eligibility lists that remain active for a period of up to one year. Any candidate on the eligibility list may be selected to fill a vacancy for the same or a similar position.
Candidates chosen to fill vacancies will be required to pass a physical examination (which includes a drug/alcohol test) and a record check (which includes fingerprinting). Designated positions require a psychological evaluation, polygraph test screen, and a background investigation. Some positions are covered by the Department of Transportation (DOT) Drug & Alcohol Testing Program. Candidates must be able to provide documentation, which authorizes their legal right to work in the United States in compliance with the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986.
