Employer Description

At over 413, 000 residents within the City of Bakersfield and another 100,000 in the metro area,

Bakersfield is the ninth largest city in California, ranked between Oakland and Anaheim. Uniquely placed

geographically, the successful candidate will be no more than a couple of hours drive from all things California,

whether that’s Disneyland, the Pacific Ocean, Sequoia’s Big Trees and Yosemite’s waterfalls, or the thrill of skiing

at Mammoth Mountain. Right here at home, the 30-mile paved Kern River Parkway Trail winds through preserved

riparian habitat where you might see rabbits, roadrunners, and other protected wildlife. Sunny year round,

Bakersfield does get hot in the summer, but this region’s Mediterranean climate provides for an

all-seasons lifestyle. Bakersfield is the nation’s top city for family activities. For more information

on things to do in Bakersfield, please visit The Visit Bakersfield Website.

The Bakersfield City Council is composed of seven members elected from the seven wards of the City on a nonpartisan basis to serve overlapping four-year terms. The Mayor is elected at-large to serve a four-year term as presiding officer at Council meetings and as the head of the City for legislative and ceremonial purposes.

The City’s tagline is “The Sound of Something Better” and our team strives to better the community on behalf of the residents we serve each and every day. The City also strives to ensure all team members are provided with a supportive and fulfilling working environment, with emphasis placed on professional development opportunities and career advancement planning. Our team members are frequently encouraged to participate in the City’s employee incentive, wellness and leadership development programs that are offered throughout the year, as well as position-specific training and educational opportunities. Employment with the City of Bakersfield is more than a job, it is being part of something better.
