Must have, keep and maintain a valid NYS CDL Class B Driver’s License with Passenger and Air Brakes and be able to be 19A certified as required by New York State DMV.  Must have a passenger endorsement without restrictions L, Z, N1 or N2 as they are considered non-qualifying.  Must have a motor vehicle record which is free from major violations or a pattern of repeat violations (*** Out-of-State Applicants, see "Special Notes"). Appointment will be contingent upon proof of identity and eligibility for employment and successful completion of pre-employment testing for controlled substance use as mandated by the Federal Highway Administration Omnibus Transportation Act of 1991. Please note that employment cannot commence until notification for successful completion of this pre-employment testing is received. Must comply with the Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing act (drug and alcohol testing). 

This title is part of the New York Hiring for Emergency Limited Placement Statewide Program (NY HELPS). For the duration of the NY HELPS Program, this title may be filled via a non-competitive appointment, which means no examination is required but all candidates must meet the minimum qualifications of the title for which they apply.

At a future date, it is expected employees hired under NY HELPS will have their non-competitive employment status converted to competitive status, without having to compete in an examination. Employees will then be afforded with all of the same rights and privileges of competitive class employees of New York State. While serving permanently in an NY HELPS title, employees may take part in any promotion examination for which they are qualified.

Employees appointed via the NY HELPS program are restricted for promotional appointment until their position is covered-in to the competitive class by the New York State Civil Service Commission (CSC), or they otherwise obtain permanent competitive status.  The CSC has recently covered-in employees who were appointed via NY HELPS on a permanent or contingent permanent basis between June 12, 2025 and July 15, 2026. Notification to employees regarding a change in their status is forthcoming.  You may wish to apply if you received a permanent NY HELPS appointment to a qualifying title within these timeframes and are interested in this opportunity.  Your eligibility for promotion will be reviewed by Human Resources.  Employees with a permanent NY HELPS appointment occurring effective July 15, 2026 or later will be addressed with a subsequent cover-in.
