Winter is coming and snowplow drivers are needed throughout the Centennial State.
CDOT is gearing up for another busy winter season as they look to fill 100+ positions to help plow and maintain roads across Colorado. According to a press release from CDOT, both permanent and seasonal full-time and part-time positions are now available for snowplow drivers and road maintenance workers, with starting dates as early as November.
