Working @ The DRBA
Discover your next opportunitY
There's no one job, field, or career path at the Delaware River & Bay Authority (DRBA). As a robust transportation network connecting Delaware and South Jersey, we have jobs that range from finance to maintenance and law enforcement as well as transportation jobs in marine, bridge, and airport operations.
The DRBA is both independently operated and functions as a bi-state governmental authority. It is a great environment for people considering work in the public sector as well as those who want to test working in the private, non-profit sector. The DRBA fits both bills.
Take a look at what it's like to work in some of the many departments at the DRBA, and consider how you can bring your set of skills to work in the dynamic transportation sector where we work to fulfill our mission daily to "Connect the People and Places in the Heart of the Northeast Corridor." Then, keep your eye on our open jobs listing as new posts come up throughout the year.
