Helpful Tips for EMWD's Online Employment Application

Welcome to the EMWD Application Process

Thank you for your interest in joining Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD)! We’re excited you’re considering a career with us.

EMWD uses Workday Recruiting, a user-friendly platform where you can explore opportunities, submit applications, and track your application status. 

Before You Begin

To help make the application process quicker and easier, we recommend having the following information ready:

• Current resume (required) or CV (optional)
• Employment history
• Education and certifications
• Professional references
• Relevant licenses or supporting documents

Helpful Things to Know

Workday may automatically time out after a period of inactivity. Save your progress frequently.  

Use the Next and Back navigation buttons inside the Workday application rather than your web browser’s arrow buttons. 

How to Apply (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Explore Current Opportunities

To view current job openings and begin your application, visit the EMWD Careers page: Career Opportunities.

Step 2: Create/Log into a Workday Account

If this is your first time applying through Workday, you’ll need to create a candidate account using a valid email address.

Returning applicants can log in using their existing Workday account to:

• Apply for additional positions

• Upload updated resumes or certifications

Step 3: Complete Your Candidate Profile

You’ll be asked to provide information such as:

• Contact information
• Employment history
• Education and training
• Skills and certifications

Helpful tip: You may also upload your resume to autofill portions of the application. We highly encourage you to review all imported information carefully to ensure accuracy and completeness. 

Step 4: Answer Supplemental Questions

You may be asked to complete additional questions, such as:

• Supplemental questionnaires 
• Screening questions
• License or certification verification
• Availability or work authorization questions

Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are required to move forward.

Step 5: Review and Submit

Before submitting your application:

• Review all sections for completeness
• Confirm attachments uploaded successfully
• Verify your work history and contact information

Once all information has been reviewed, click Submit Application. You will receive a confirmation email once your application has been successfully submitted.
