PennDOT is in need of Driver License Examiners and Assistants statewide.
Vince’s Note – PennDOT license centers are located throughout the state. If you are looking for work and fit the qualifications below, you should be able to find a center near you.

Annual Salary Range: $32,444-$48,384
Driver License Examiners evaluate applications for all classes of driver’s licenses. They conduct driving performance examinations; administer visual acuity screenings; administer oral, written, or computer-assisted examinations measuring road sign and signal interpretation, safe driving practices, and knowledge of Pennsylvania motor vehicle laws, rules and regulations; verify identity; check motor vehicles for valid inspection stickers and safe operating condition; examine registrations, permits, and other related documents for validity and authenticity; and notify applicants of results and suggest improvements to those who fail.
Annual Salary Range: $36,616-$55,185

Driver License Examiner (71040)
Possession of a valid Pennsylvania Class C Driver’s License and at least twenty-one years old at the time of application.
Condition of Employment

No suspensions or revocations of a driver’s license during the five year period immediately preceding appointment.
Vince’s Note – I find it interesting that a requirement for application to this job you may not have had a license suspension or revocation in the last five years. I believe that hiring someone who has been through the suspension and restoration process would make for a better employee who can give feedback to help assist PennDOT customers and add more value to the position.
Certain positions in the job will require possession of a current Pennsylvania Commercial Driver’s License in classes A and M with the following endorsements: P and N with the L restriction (Air Brakes) lifted.
