The City of Marion has 175 full-time and part-time benefited employees, and is a large seasonal employer. Positions include skilled labor, administrative, technical and professional.

Hiring Procedures

Protective service departments (police and fire) are covered by civil service rules, and periodically test applicants to create a list of people eligible to fill future openings. The purpose of the Civil Service Commission is to ensure fair practices in the appointment, promotion, termination or demotion to or from a Civil Service position. In doing so, the commission oversees entry-level and promotional written tests regarding Civil Service positions.

Non-civil service positions are required to be announced internally and may be posted externally simultaneously for a minimum of five days. Positions may be posted on additional website depending on the nature of the position.
