THE POSITION

Drive your career forward! The Department of Transportation is seeking a Driver License Examiner to conduct standardized knowledge and skills examinations to evaluate the skill and competence of non-commercial and Commercial Driver License (CDL) applicants.

The hiring office for this posting has a continuing need for Spanish speaking applicants. Individuals fluent in both English and Spanish are encouraged to apply. Individuals hired for these positions provide information and assistance to Spanish-speaking customers.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK

You will be responsible for conducting standardized on-road assessments to evaluate the skills and competencies of applicants seeking both Non-Commercial Driver Licenses and Commercial Driver Licenses, ensuring that these evaluations are carried out in a safe and courteous manner.
