Lifeguard at Mentor Civic Center Pool

The city of Mentor employs over 500 individuals in full-time, part-time, and temporary/seasonal positions. We offer competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package for full-time employees.

Unlike many businesses, a municipality requires a wide variety of employees to provide City services, staff facilities, maintain infrastructure, and work at special events.

From police officers to firefighters, and camp counselors to lifeguards, jobs at the city require a wide range of skill sets that translates into many different types of job openings. Whether you’re looking for a first job or have years of experience, the city of Mentor is looking for you.

Our Public Works Department employs skilled laborers and often requires a CDL or other certificates and qualifications to operate heavy machinery – but on the other hand, there are also  job openings which only require a high school diploma or GED.

Temporary/seasonal jobs are posted year-round but increase greatly in February and March as the city looks to fill summer positions. Park maintenance workers, cashiers, wait staff, greenskeepers, camp counselors, lifeguards and event staff are just some of the positions that are required to staff the City’s Parks and Recreational facilities.

Mentor is an equal opportunity employer. Job postings are updated regularly and full descriptions, including requirements, hours, and salary are posted at cityofmentor.com/employment.
