Interested in completing an internship with Colorado Department of Transportation?
Our permanent positions and some of our paid intern positions are posted on the State of Colorado website at http://careers.codot.gov/. You can filter for just CDOT or search through all of the jobs listed. Each of our job announcements mention the location, a description of the job and what the qualifications are for each position, so we would encourage you to monitor our website and read through the announcements. If you do see a position that is of interest to you, please submit a complete online application, including any required supporting documents by the posted deadline.
Many of our paid internship positions are never announced and candidates are sourced other ways. If you’d like to be considered for those opportunities, please fill out the form below. From there, we will add you to our intern pool and you may be contacted if your interests, skills and location preferences align with any of our unannounced intern opportunities over the coming 6 months.
If you haven’t already, you can also sign up for job interest cards at https://www.governmentjobs.com/careers/Colorado/jobInterestCards/categories and then the system will send you email notifications whenever a job in your chosen categories is posted. “Internship” is one of the categories.
Feel free to pursue any/all of these routes for consideration simultaneously if you’d like, which helps increase the odds of being hired.
