The Illinois Department of Transportation is seeking full-time and on-call seasonal employees to help with snow-and-ice removal.

The deadline to apply is Sept. 13. The annual "snowbird" program requires employees to promptly respond to weather situations, assisting in snow-and-ice control and working in emergency conditions at any time, including weekends, holidays and nights.

Applicants must have a commercial driver's license and submit to a criminal-background check. A pre-employment physical, vision testing, and drug and alcohol screening also are required. Applicants will be selected based on availability, job-related experience and qualifications. Veterans are strongly encouraged to apply.
