The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is actively seeking to expand its workforce with two hiring events in September, focusing on positions in roadway maintenance and construction. These events will offer job seekers the opportunity to engage in interviews and potentially receive same-day conditional job offers, as the department aims to strengthen its team responsible for managing the nation’s seventh-largest highway system.
The recruitment events are scheduled for September 12 and September 16, with the first taking place in Jefferson City and the second in Cuba. Interested candidates must be at least 18 years old and possess a high school diploma or GED. While a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) or permit is preferred, it is not mandatory, as MoDOT will provide comprehensive training for new hires.
Jefferson City will host the first event on September 12, from 12:00 to 18:00 at 1511 Missouri Boulevard. The second event in Cuba is set for September 16, from 11:00 to 17:00 at the Cuba Maintenance Facility, located at 7149 Old Highway 66, near the intersection with I-44 at Route UU (Exit 210).
Candidates who receive conditional job offers will need to successfully pass a drug test and background check afterward, according to MoDOT. The department highlights that competitive benefits will be available to successful applicants, including medical insurance and educational assistance.
Individuals interested in pursuing a career with MoDOT are encouraged to apply either in person at the events or online through the department’s official website. This initiative reflects MoDOT’s commitment to enhancing the infrastructure workforce and ensuring the efficient maintenance and construction of critical roadway systems across the state.
As the demand for skilled labor in transportation continues to grow, these hiring events offer a vital opportunity for Missouri residents to contribute to their communities and the state’s transportation future.
