IDOT hosting career fair in Effingham November 5, 2026

Effingham County Emergency Management Agency
​311 W. Miracle Avenue, Effingham.

Staff will be on site to discuss technical and administrative support opportunities for multiple IDOT job locations throughout the area.

“This event is an excellent opportunity for the public to learn about the employment options available at IDOT,” said Illinois Department of Transportation Region Four Engineer Teresa Price. “As an engineer who has worked in both the public and private sectors, I can attest to the exemplary work environment at IDOT that not only offers strong employment opportunities but also helps mentor and train employees for long-term careers.”

Attendees will learn how to apply for state jobs. Central Management Services will be on hand to explain the application process and offer in-person guidance for creating a state employment profile, applying for state positions and other best practices for pursuing a career with the state of Illinois. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own laptop.

The Illinois Secretary of State’s office will have staff present to answer questions on obtaining a commercial driver’s license for positions where one is required.

The event is free and open to the public. Registration is recommended but not required. To register, visit IDOT Career Fair or contact IDOT’s Office of Diversity and Recruitment at DOT.Recruitment@Illinois.gov.
