Hiring Process

The OUC Hiring Process

Applications for posted position vacancies are accepted online through our OUC application program. Applications are screened by the Human Resources Division according to the position's minimum requirements. Applicants must meet minimum requirements to be considered for available positions.

Applications from the most qualified applicants are submitted to the hiring department for review and consideration for interviews and/or assessments. The Human Resources Division schedules interviews and assessments by telephone during business hours. All applicants interviewed are notified by e-mail when the position has been filled.

OUC reserves the right either to terminate or extend the posting period on any job at any time should qualified candidates not apply.

E - Verify

Orlando Utilities Comission hires only U.S. citizens and lawfully authorized alien workers. All selected applicants are required to complete Section 1 of federal Form I-9 (Employment Eligibility Verification) and to provide identification and either proof of U.S. citizenship or proof of authorization to work in the U.S.

In addition, we use E-Verify as part of the I-9 process to verify the work eligibility of all new hires. E-Verify is an Internet-based system that compares information from an employee's Form I-9 to data from U.S Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration records.

The official U.S. E-Verify Participation Posters informing OUC's current and prospective employees of their legal rights and protections are available below:
