Objective: to analyze the implementation of the career pattern of the State Civil Apparatus in structural positions within the Mojokerto City Government, analyze the obstacles that occur and provide contributions and solutions that must be applied in the career pattern. Method: qualitative descriptive. Data were obtained through observations, interviews, and relevant documentation studies in accordance with the problem study. Results: the application of the career pattern of State Civil Apparatus in structural positions in the Mojokerto City Government has gone quite well but the patronage system is still clearly visible in the application of the career pattern. Solutions to reduce the clarity of career patterns are suggested to compile job title analysis, conduct job evaluations, determine job maps and job groups, set appropriate position competency standards, have similarities, and correlate in their functions and duties. This is important so that the direction of repositioning (promotion and mutation) of the State Civil Apparatus is clearer and the State Civil Apparatus itself can conduct a self-assessment of their career development in the future.
