Job Opportunities
The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) and other CT State Agencies have transitioned to a paperless Online Employment Center.
You can now efficiently search and apply for current job openings on-line via a mobile-friendly website, and receive e-mail notices about the status of each application. Mailed or faxed job applications will no longer be accepted. Additionally, the new system no longer requires separate applications for examinations and job openings.
1. Register as a user and set up a “Master Application”. (No need to manually fill out a new application every time you want to apply for a job. Simply maintain your “Master Application”, use it to apply for current job openings, and check the status of your applications on a 24/7 basis.)
2. Fill out “Interest Cards” so that you can receive e-mails and/or text messages about future job openings. You will need to renew your Interest Card selections annually.
