      One of the great perks for working at DOT is the ability to forge lifelong friendships. When you work with people, who are also committed to providing a great service to our fellow citizens and visitors, you establish everlasting bonds. In a world that is constantly in flux, those friendships are like cement pillars that can last forever. I still keep in touch with folks that I met more than 20 years ago.

      FDOT is sort of like a family. We’re all together, we’re here to help each other. There’s no particular department that stands out more than the other, there’s no position that stands out more. We all work together. It’s a great place to work. There are several different counties that you can work in and there’s several different fields that you can work in. We have design, we have our lighting department, public information department, construction department . . . a lot of room for growth, and it’s like a family

      In the past I was working somewhere where I wasn’t happy and I came here as an operator and realized how interesting transportation and traffic is and how much goes into the day-to-day of keeping the roadways clear and safe for the public. So I kept on working in this field and there were so many opportunities to jump into that I didn’t even know what I wanted to do at a certain point. I was guided into working in maintenance which is very exciting. Having this type of job makes me feel good because I know that I’m helping people in the public, ensuring that they’re getting to the place they need to go to in a safe manner.

      I have had the opportunity to work for three state agencies and FDOT is simply the best. Working at FDOT is challenging and has allowed me to grow professionally in many ways I never thought possible. Because the Department builds infrastructure that I can see (e.g., roads, bridges, airports, spaceports, seaports and public transit services), I know I’m making a difference in the lives of Floridians, businesses and visitors, and because of that – I find my job at FDOT extremely rewarding.
