What is the difference between Regular Civil Service, Limited Term (LT), Temporary Construction (TC), Temporary (Temp.) or Intermittent (Int.) positions at EBMUD?

At EBMUD, regular civil service positions may be full-time or less-than-full-time. The benefits to regular civil service positions include all the benefits EBMUD provides. Limited Term and Temporary Construction positions are of limited duration either for two years (LT) or for the duration of a project (TC), have full benefits but are not included in the retirement system. Temporary positions are for a maximum of six (6) months with no benefits. Part time positions are ongoing, limited to 840 hours per year with no benefits except vacation time and sick leave acquired on a pro-rated basis.

In general, for all EBMUD positions, you will need to file an application, show that you meet the minimum qualifications as defined by the job opportunity posting, and then go through an examination process.

For LT, TC or temporary employees to become regular full-time employees they must go through the entire civil service job application process. Provisional employees are not guaranteed a regular position.
