CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio — The City of Circleville is accepting applications for a full-time Maintenance Worker I position in its Department of Public Service, with starting pay of up to $19.45 an hour for candidates who hold a commercial driver’s license.
The city said in a Facebook post that the position offers competitive pay, benefits and “opportunities for growth” as the department works to maintain city infrastructure.
Starting pay is $18.1764 an hour for applicants without a CDL and $19.4472 an hour for those who have one, according to the city. After six months on the job, pay rises to $19.9488 an hour without a CDL or $21.2866 an hour with one.

It is led by Director of Public Service James Stanley, with Chris Cupp serving as superintendent of the city’s transportation garage, which houses the maintenance crews who handle much of that day-to-day upkeep.
Applicants must have a high school diploma or equivalent and a valid Ohio driver’s license, and must be able to meet the city’s insurability guidelines. The position also requires the ability to obtain a Class B CDL with an air brake endorsement.
