WHAT: Do you or someone you know have a calling for public service where the day to day activities make a difference in the lives of Georgians and visitors to our state? Where you can make someone feel safe when broken down on the side of a busy interstate? Or where you can partner with various emergency responders in response to incidents? The Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) is partnering with Indeed.com to host a virtual job fair for HERO Operator Trainees in the metro Atlanta area.

Georgia DOT HERO operators play a very important role in ensuring the safety of motorists on metro Atlanta's busy interstates. HEROs are dispatched to traffic-related incidents in metro Atlanta with the primary duty to clear roads so that normal traffic flow is restored. HEROs also assist stranded motorists with flat tires, dead batteries or in need of fuel or coolant. Candidates must be at least 18 years of age; possess a high school diploma or GED; and possess a valid driver’s license. If you meet those requirements, we encourage you to apply to join us in powering through challenges and changing lives one Georgian at a time. Jobs will be offered on the spot.
