If you or someone in your household is thinking about a summer job, this is one worth a serious look. City of Delaware is now hiring for a wide range of seasonal and part-time roles, and some positions are open to applicants as young as 15 years old. These are not filler jobs. They put people directly into the work that keeps the community running, from parks and pools to camps and city services.
For students and first-time workers, city jobs offer something that’s often missing elsewhere: real responsibility, clear expectations, and supervisors who are used to training young employees. You earn money, yes, but you also learn how a workplace actually functions.
Seasonal Positions Currently Available
The city’s seasonal openings cover a wide mix of interests and skill levels. Current seasonal jobs include:
• Camp Counselor
• Cashier
• Golf Course Attendant
• Lawn Care Technician
• Lifeguard
• Parks and Cemetery Laborer
• Public Utilities Laborer
• Street Maintenance and Traffic Laborer
These roles span outdoor work, customer service, recreation, and hands-on operations. Whether you want to spend your summer outside, working with kids, or gaining practical experience in city services, there’s likely a fit here.
Why These Jobs Go Fast
City summer positions tend to fill quickly, and there’s a reason for that. The schedules are generally reliable, the work is visible, and the experience carries weight on future job and college applications. Being trusted as a lifeguard, counselor, or public works team member signals maturity in a way many summer jobs simply don’t.
If you’re interested, don’t wait. Review the openings, apply early, and treat the application like it matters, because it does. Full details and applications are available on the City of Delaware jobs page. For anyone looking to make this a productive, meaningful summer, this is one of the strongest options around.
