People seeking full-time correction officer work in Oneida County have until 4:30 p.m. Monday, November 16, 2026, to apply for the next civil service examination for the position of Oneida County correction officer, according to the county’s current job posting.
The Sheriff’s Office recruitment page independently lists November 16 as the application deadline and December 1–15 as the examination questionnaire period.
Applying and completing the exam are separate steps
The county says this exam uses an online training-and-experience questionnaire, rather than a written multiple-choice test. Approved applicants will receive instructions. They must submit the questionnaire by December 15 to receive a score and join the eligible list.
The posting lists 85 vacancies and a $58,000 salary. Education, age, citizenship, license, residency, medical and background requirements apply. Read the current county posting before applying; being placed on an eligible list does not guarantee appointment.
Use the county’s official examination portal. For help or a paper application, call Personnel at 315-798-5726. Paper forms are also available on the seventh floor of the County Office Building.
Another date for job seekers
A separate county job fair is scheduled for November 20, from 9 a.m. to noon, on the first floor at 800 Park Avenue, Utica. Employers listed include county agencies, Indium, Sitrin and First Student. That event comes after the correction officer application deadline.
Official listings checked November 12, 2026. Times are Eastern Standard Time.
