12 remote or telework-eligible positions · federal agency
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is the Department of Transportation agency that administers the Federal-aid Highway Program, through which federal money flows to state transportation departments for building and maintaining the National Highway System and other eligible roads. It has a division office in every state, and its Federal Lands Highway organization designs and builds roads on national parks, forests and other federal and tribal lands.
Recent listings have included highway civil engineers, structural civil engineers, a highway construction project engineer, a highway design engineer, a claims engineer, lead civil engineers including a subject matter expert, a supervisory construction operations engineer, a lead transportation specialist, a program manager and a director of field services for the west, with most announced under direct hire authority.
Applying tip: direct hire authority means every qualified applicant is referred without category rating or veterans’ preference, so apply early rather than waiting for the closing date. Civil engineer positions carry the 0800 group’s positive education requirement, and construction roles expect field experience on highway projects. Our engineering guide covers the series in more detail.
