Highway Maintenance Workers Do More Than Drive Big Trucks
The team takes cares of Colorado's state highways and roadways, including snow and ice operations, heavy construction, landscaping and much more. Maintenance work assignments are frequently performed under hazardous, high-volume traffic situations, including bad weather conditions. Many positions require night and shift work, including weekends and holidays as needed or required. Many jobs are on rotating on-call schedules and respond to emergencies 24 hours per day, seven days per week. There is an opportunity for overtime pay, especially during the winter.
Maintenance employees receive training on specialized equipment such as loaders, motor graders, two-ton-plus snow blowers, and using wing attachments to remove snow and maintain the roads and CDOT right-of-way.
