What is the application process like?

Typically, we will review your information and if we are interested, we will contact you within two weeks from the time we receive your information. Interviews may be on-site at one of our locations, over the phone, or through video conferencing. If you have not been contacted within two weeks, we have likely chosen to keep your information on file for a future opportunity. Due to our commitment to finding the best employees to join our quality workforce, our recruiting process can take several weeks. You will be contacted through email when we have filled or closed the position.

As part of the SJE hiring process, a background check may be conducted in which information about you is obtained through personal interviews, reference checks, skill assessments, and education transcripts, as well as information gathered from other sources. This investigation may include verifications regarding your past employment, education, criminal records, motor vehicle records, personal references, and other job-related data. If granted an interview, you will be asked to sign a release form authorizing SJE to conduct a background check as described above.

Applicants are considered for all positions without regard to race, creed, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status, status with regard to public assistance or sexual orientation, disability or status as Vietnam Era or special disabled veteran in accordance with federal law.
