Selected requirements, not a complete eligibility or disqualifier checklist.

Hiring outline

  1. Entry applicants apply through the city job system, then arrange NTN written and physical assessments after receiving application confirmation.
  2. The city reviews qualifications and scores before inviting candidates to interview. Further suitability, background, psychological, medical and drug screenings are required; confirm their assigned order.

Physical testing

Entry applicants must arrange the required physical assessment through NTN. Current course events and passing thresholds were not verified; do not substitute Washington standards.

Benefits

The compensation page describes four ten-hour shifts, wellness time and educational reimbursement. Confirm current eligibility and agreement terms.

Hiring incentives

Availability and terms need confirmation.

No specific vacancy or deadline verified. Salary tables are labeled 2024/2025 rather than a confirmed current schedule, and leave totals conflict within the benefits page. Pay figures and disputed leave totals are therefore withheld.
