The MDOT Recruitment and Examinations Unit publishes and distributes a Schedule of Examinations for all career service positions which is updated weekly. The Schedule of Examinations is distributed to all MDOT and State offices. Applications are accepted only for those job classifications indicated.
The only exception is for recruitments conducted on an "Open and Continuous" basis. This means we will accept applications at any time. These classifications will be designated as "Open and Continuous" and will not have a closing date listed on Current Job Announcements.
A listing of all current and pending career service recruitments can be found on the Current Job Announcements page. In general, postings will be removed after the application deadline or closing date. Since this information is updated weekly, you may find some postings for which the closing date has passed. Please do not submit an application in these cases because it will be returned to you. Instead, contact the Interest File at (410) 865-1073 so that you will be notified at the next opportunity.
Please click on the specific job title of interest for additional information. Please pay close attention to the recruitment strategy for each: some positions are Open to the Public, while others are limited to State-Wide Promotional, MDOT-Wide Promotional, or MDOT-Agency Promotional candidates. For assistance in determining your present employment status, please contact the appropriate TSHRS testing contact or TSO's Interest File.
If you are interested in applying for career service positions at MDOT, you must submit the MDOT employment application, form DTS-1. Please note that applications are only accepted for current recruitments. Resumes cannot be substituted for our application form. You may attach additional information or a resume to the application, but you must fill out all of the required information on the DTS-1 such as specific dates of employment, hours worked and number of persons supervised.
Each Administration has responsibility for its unique jobs. Please contact the specific Administration for information about applying for these positions. All job classifications used throughout MDOT are handled by TSO's Recruitment and Examinations Unit.
Photocopies of applications are acceptable as long as they are standard sized (8 1/2 x 11 inch). However, your original signature and the date are required. Faxed copies of applications are unacceptable and will not be considered. One suggestion is to complete a "master" copy which fully details your education, experience and career accomplishments. By submitting a copy, you will not need to "reinvent the wheel " each time you apply for a position.
Your application form (DTS-1) is an important part of the recruitment and examination process. Please fill out your application completely and accurately. This information determines whether you are minimally qualified to receive further consideration for the position. And, in some cases, the information on your application is used to determine your test score. It is essential that you report any changes of name or address to the TSO's Recruitment and Examinations Unit in writing, as soon as possible. Please include your Social Security Number in the submitted information.
Please note that these procedures apply only to positions within the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT), Transportation Service Human Resources System (TSHRS). Applicants will be considered for MDOT positions only. For information on other positions in Maryland State Government, please click on Office of Personnel Services & Benefits in the Department of Budget & Management.
