About us
The Oregon Department of Transportation is an award-winning organization, more than 4,500 employees strong. Together, we provide a safe and reliable multimodal transportation system that connects people and helps Oregon's communities and economy thrive. Transportation in Oregon is a multi-billion dollar investment in our people, our environment and our state. Almost every aspect of life is affected one way or another by transportation. With 96,000 square miles of land, we must have a safe, dependable system — and in Oregon, that includes highways, passenger and freight rail, public transit and non-motorized transportation. Over the past several years, Oregonians have opted to invest in the state’s transportation infrastructure. This commitment to a sound transportation system is creating opportunities for engineers, planners, maintenance and construction workers, information systems specialists, accountants, customer service representatives, inspectors, policy analysts and other knowledgeable employees. Consider a career with the Oregon Department of Transportation. Live and work among tall mountains, surrounded by sandy ocean beaches and clear blue lakes, in the grassy valleys or on the high desert, in the big city or in a small country town. Oregon has it all — just waiting for you to discover; waiting for you to make your mark. For job opportunities, visit www.odotjobs.com or email [email protected].
