| The Taunton Municipal Lighting
Plant hires in accordance with Civil Service rules and
regulations.
The opening is first posted for potential promotion
from within the organization. If TMLP is unable to fill
the vacancy from within, the next step is to send for
the Civil Service list. Occasionally, the TMLP does
consider transfer from another City department to TMLP
or from State Service to TMLP if certain conditions
are met.
To apply for Labor Classified Civil Service positions,
inquiries must be made to the Civil Service Labor Service
Director at City Hall in Taunton. To apply to take Official
Service Civil Service examinations, applications are
available in the City Clerk's office, the Labor Service
Director's office or from TMLP (ask the Receptionist).
For a recorded message regarding examination announcements,
please dial 617-727-3777, Ext. 246 or dial toll free
800-392-6178, Ext. 246. The web site address is www.state.ma.us/hrd.
We occasionally make provisional appointments when
there is no available Civil Service list for the position.
If you want to be considered if this should happen,
fill out an Employment Application and forward it to
the General Manager's Office, TMLP, P.O. Box 870, Taunton,
MA. 02780 or leave it with the Receptionist.
For further information regarding the hiring process
please contact Paula Gallagher 824-5844 ext. 103.
