Warner Robins hiring for few open job positions

WARNER ROBINS, Ga. — The City of Warner Robins has a few positions ready to be filled, including finance director.

The city has been working to fill the role since before Mayor LaRhonda Patrick took office.

The reason why Patrick says it’s taking so long is because there aren’t enough applicants with government accounting experience on their resume.

“We don’t care much about them being a CPA. All of our research and the  correspondence and recommendations we’ve received from our current auditors also support that we don’t have to have a CPA, but government experience in accounting and financial duties is of our utmost importance,” Patrick said.

The Middle Georgia Regional Commission has been vetting applicants.

So far, they’ve sent about 16 applications to Patrick’s office.

“Our focus is on a finance director opposed to a city administrator, because not having the city administrator currently is not interrupting our operations, not having a finance director, is,” Patrick said.
