Graduate Transportation Associate

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 to several GTA positions located across the state of Tennessee. To learn more and apply, visit: https://www.tn.gov/tdot/human-resources-home/graduate-transportation-associate-program.html
