Employment Opportunities

Classified Employment At SUNY Oneonta

If you would like to be considered for a lateral transfer from another State agency, please submit a letter and resume to the Office of Human Resources (click on link for address) . At the time of a vacancy, we will review applications in the agency transfer file, but the College has no obligation to interview or hire agency transfer candidates.

MAINTENANCE/CUSTODIAL POSITIONS

Custodial: Approximately every two years, SUNY Oneonta advertises for the title of cleaner. At that time the New York State Department of Labor (Job Service) collects applications for SUNY Oneonta. SUNY Oneonta then establishes a "pool" of eligible candidates for employment.

Maintenance: Because SUNY Oneonta is unionized most vacant maintenance positions are filled by promotion from within based on seniority. Some are filled based on a civil service exam. If no person on campus meets the minimum qualifications for a vacant position, it would then be advertised in the Daily Star and filled by the most qualified applicant.
