As Director of Human Resources and Civil Service I encourage you to discover the career opportunities available at the City of Mesquite.

Providing service to the citizens of Mesquite is a rewarding career field. You will know every day that you have made a significant contribution to the people in our community. Our standards are high but we will select those who share our commitment of service excellence. The characteristics we seek are explained in what the City of Mesquite considers to be five essential competencies.

The first competency is Job Knowledge. Simply put, each position requires a set of requirements or minimum qualifications. Additionally, we look for those with a commitment to learning and improving their skills.

Our citizens have high expectations of service from the City staff. The willingness to provide great service and to communicate a caring and empathetic attitude are essential. Thus, the ability to provide superior customer service is a highly valued trait within the City of Mesquite.

Flexibility is also essential. Every day is different and sometimes we are all called upon to perform extra duties or functions outside of our normal routine. Being flexible means you do whatever it takes to do the job or complete the task.

Teamwork is another core competency in the city. We work together as a team to accomplish common goals. We are considerate of our co-workers and we treat them with courtesy and respect.

Finally, ethics and dependability are also key competencies. Character counts so we seek those who have proven to be honest, trustworthy and dependable.

The employment process is designed to identify and evaluate applicants on the basis of our five competencies. Once hired employees are again evaluated on the same five competencies. Future training and considerations for promotions are based on performance in these five competencies.

In addition to recruitment and employment the human resources department serves employees and retirees with assistance with the following services:

Benefits, Payroll, Compensation plans, Employee Relations, Safety, Health and Wellness, Training and Risk Management.

Thank you for your interest in the City of Mesquite!
