SCHUYLKILL HAVEN, Pa. — Tuesday, October 20, 2026. PennDOT is holding a one-day hiring event in Schuylkill County today, offering local job seekers the opportunity to meet agency staff and potentially interview for seasonal or ongoing transportation work.

The event runs from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the PennDOT Schuylkill County Office, 970 East Main Street, Schuylkill Haven, PA 17972.

What positions are available?

According to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s October 14 announcement, the agency is seeking applicants for several classifications, including CDL equipment operators, diesel and automobile mechanics, and clerical assistants. District and county employees are expected to help applicants understand openings and the application process.

On-site interviews and job offers may be available. Attending the event does not guarantee employment; candidates still need to meet the relevant qualifications.

What should applicants bring?

PennDOT specifically advised CDL operators to bring their current driver’s license and medical card. Mechanic applicants should bring a copy of their inspection license. Applicants may also wish to have an up-to-date resume and records relevant to the positions they are pursuing, although the public notice does not make a resume an across-the-board requirement.

How to find the active job listings

Prospective applicants can review positions and apply through Pennsylvania’s official employment website. PennDOT’s announcement said workers are needed to support transportation operations, particularly around winter maintenance.

Anyone requiring an accommodation for the event was directed to contact the Schuylkill County office at 570-385-7812 before attending.

Time-sensitive information

This event ends at 2 p.m. on October 20. Readers viewing this article after that time should check Pennsylvania’s job listings instead of assuming the event is ongoing. Online postings may remain open after the in-person session ends, subject to their individual closing dates.
