Why work at VDOT?
Transportation needs innovators. At VDOT we’re moving into the future with purpose. Consider some firsts taking place at VDOT: first using an online Dashboard so citizens can monitor our performance; a leader in public-private partnership contracts; the first knowledge management office for a DOT; VDOT University, the first comprehensive education center for a state-agency. VDOT is always looking for the next new innovation and we provide the tools for new thinking with state of the art equipment that give our employees fresh insights. Be a part of a movement to change how we move – rethink transportation.
The best-managed state government. When the Government Performance Project rated the 50 states, Virginia was the only one with straight A’s across the board for managing: money, people, infrastructure and information. VDOT helped lead the way with maximizing transportation value for the public. Forget bureaucratic, think dynamic – rethink government.
This is an organization where heritage and a common cause bring us together. At VDOT we know how to take things seriously as well as how to have fun. For more than 100 years, VDOT has built a legacy based on the passing of experiences through generations. Build your own legacy – rethink your career.
