Non-Civil Service Vacancy Process

The Non-Civil Service vacancy process is controlled by the Bureau of State Employment in the Governor’s Office of Administration. A Personal Data Sheet and typed resume must be submitted to the Bureau of State Employment each year to stay in an active status.

Vacancy Announcements are typically posted at PennDOT offices for at least 5 days.

Entry level union vacancies and management vacancies are filled through applicant referrals from the Bureau of State Employment to PennDOT in order to be interviewed.

Non-entry level union vacancies are filled through seniority OR by selecting an applicant from the same class title as the vacancy. These applicants must be employed in the same seniority unit as the posted vacancy. If there are no qualified seniority applicants, the bureau of State Employment will send the names of qualified applicants to be interviewed for the vacancy.
