Promotional opportunities and vacant positions in Local 888 (craft, service, and maintenance) are announced weekly on postings. These announcements include the job number and title, a generic scope and function statement and requirements, special conditions, salary range, seniority unit, date posted, removal date, deadline date for the receipt of bids, 10-month or 12-month position distinction, and funding source.
All regular 12- or 10-month vacant positions of twenty (20) hours or more per week, that are to be filled and are included within the 888 bargaining unit, will be posted.
888 postings (orange sheets) can be found in our University Human Resources (UHR) office or your shop steward can advise you of other nearby posting locations. These jobs are usually announced on Wednesday. The bid acceptance date will always appear on each posting.
To be considered as a candidate for a posted position, eligible employees (bidders) must complete a bid form and submit it to the University Human Resources office by 9 a.m. on the date indicated for each position of interest. Applicants should list all related education and work experience that details how they meet the posted requirements. Other information may be submitted as well.
Bidders who meet the posted requirements will have their bid form forwarded to the departmental hiring authority for consideration. Bidders will be contacted by the hiring manager to schedule an interview.
When there are no bidders to be considered, University Human Resources will introduce additional qualified candidates to the hiring department for their consideration. These may include bidders who submitted bid forms after the deadline date, other Rutgers employees, casual employees, and external applicants. These applicants can submit a resume and/or application with a voluntary disclosure form to UHR for each position of interest.
There is no limitation on the number of times an eligible employee may bid on posted positions, except that after an employee has been successful, the employee must wait six months before bidding on another position.
Please contact University Human Resources at 848-932-3020, if you have any questions.
