KING OF PRUSSIA, PA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced it will host job fairs at its Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery County Maintenance facilities on Tuesday, July 12, from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, in an effort to reach qualified candidates throughout the region to fill vacancies in all four counties.

Those interested in a career with PennDOT are being encouraged to attend one of the job fair locations to learn about the following opportunities:

  • Transportation Equipment Operator-A;
  • Transportation Equipment Operator Trainee;
  • Diesel Construction Equipment Mechanic;
  • Diesel Construction Equipment Mechanic Trainee; and
  • Maintenance Repairman 2.

All positions will be posted online at www.employment.pa.gov two weeks before the scheduled job fairs and applicants are encouraged to submit their application through the website whether they can attend or not attend the job fairs. Applicants may also view other positions on the website available in the Philadelphia region and statewide.

If for any reason an applicant cannot complete an application on the website before the scheduled job fairs, staff members with laptops will be available at all four job fairs to help interested participants navigate the electronic application system.

For positions that require a Commercial Driver’s License, PennDOT will conduct on-the-spot interviews for CDL operators. Driving tests will also be administered the same day, if available. CDL operators should bring their current driver’s license and medical examiner certificate to the job fair. Requirements for a CDL will be posted on the job description on the employment website. PennDOT states it will train an employee for a CDL if hired for the Transportation Equipment Operator Trainee position.
