Entry-level Civil Engineer (Graduate Transportation Associate)


Entry-level Civil Engineers/ Graduate Transportation Associates

The Tennessee Department of Transportation is currently hiring full-time entry level Civil Engineers in West, Middle and East Tennessee. The Department of Transportation provides citizens of Tennessee and travelers with one of the best transportation systems in the country. TDOT is a multimodal agency with responsibilities in aviation, public transit, waterways, railroads, cycling, and walking.

TDOT’s Graduate Transportation Associate (GTA) Program is a highly competitive, professional development sequence that allows entry-level civil engineers to gain hands-on experience in the areas of maintenance, construction, design, and project management.

TDOT partners with Spark: Lipscomb University’s Idea Center, where GTAs enhance leadership and team-building skills, learn how they impact company performance, and uncover ways to implement important business strategies.

After a one-year probationary period, those who successfully complete the GTA program will flex into a higher level job class and receive a salary increase. Several former GTAs have gone on to assume senior leadership positions with TDOT.

We are currently accepting applications for entry-level engineers in the following locations: Nashville, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Jackson and Memphis.

For questions about the GTA Program or the application process, please email TDOT.HR@tn.gov
