To help answer your questions, we have developed this guide for our application process. The City of Kennewick only accepts applications for open positions, that is, any position which has been advertised to the public and for which we are actively recruiting. General applications are not accepted to keep on file unless the position is open. We have job descriptions located at our reception area for you to look through. The job descriptions contain information on duties, examples of work performed, employment standards, and special qualifications which may be required for the position.
Job descriptions are also available on-line under the open position, on our current openings page.
If you find a position you are interested in, the next step is to fill out a job interest card. Job interest cards are used to notify you when a position is open and also give you a closing date for submitting your application. All open positions require a City of Kennewick application and you must be certain your application is received at City Hall by the closing date. When you receive a job interest card in the mail, you will need to either come to City Hall to pick up an application or call to request an application be mailed to you. You may also download applications from our web page.
