City of St. Louis to Host Major Hiring Event for Parks and Recreation Positions

The City of St. Louis, in partnership with the SLATE Missouri Job Center, is preparing to host a major hiring event aimed at strengthening the city’s workforce while expanding employment opportunities for residents seeking stable work and career advancement.
The event will take place Friday, June 5, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at 1520 Market Street in downtown St. Louis, inside the First Floor Conference Room. Organizers say the initiative is designed to fill 200 Limited Term Utility Worker positions within the Department of Parks, Recreation, and Forestry. The city is also seeking applicants for several seasonal lifeguard positions through its Recreation Division as public pools and summer programs prepare to open.
Officials say the hiring push comes at a critical time as St. Louis increases efforts to maintain parks, improve neighborhood recreational facilities, and expand seasonal city services that support residents and families throughout the summer months.
Applicants attending the hiring event are encouraged to bring a current resume and a valid driver’s license. On-site interviews will be conducted throughout the event, allowing qualified candidates to move directly into the hiring process. City officials are also urging applicants to submit applications online ahead of time through the city’s employment portal to help streamline interviews and expedite hiring decisions.
Workforce development leaders say the partnership between the city and SLATE continues to play an important role in connecting residents with employment opportunities, job readiness services, and pathways toward long-term economic stability.
