Metro seeking applicants for next hiring event

Interviews to be conducted by invitation only

Metro will host a “by invitation only” hiring event in May and invite participating candidates who meet qualifications to interview in person for potential employment opportunities. 

This is the second hiring event of this kind Metro has hosted this spring. During the previous hiring event, 18 candidates received employment offers.

Metro currently has a variety of positions posted at wmata.com/careers and is looking to fill roles that range from information technology, accounting and human resources. With changes in the federal workforce, Metro believes available talent in the region will immediately bolster an already talented team. 

While all open positions are currently listed, only select positions will be included in this hiring event. Metro is continuously recruiting for mission critical positions like Metro Transit Police Officers, Bus Operators, Bus Mechanics and other operational roles, however these positions are not part of this hiring event. For those interested in joining our team, please visit the links above. 

All interested candidates should complete applications online at wmata.com/careers no later than Tuesday, May 20, at 11:59 p.m. EST. Any applications marked after this deadline will not be considered for this event.

“We want to take advantage of a hiring market, especially federal and contract employees, where a number of talented professionals in this region can immediately add value to Metro,” said General Manager and CEO Randy Clarke. “I’ve asked our Human Capital leadership team to fill as many positions as quickly as possible to reduce contractor costs and increase efficiency.”

Metro’s last event in April reduced the hiring process time significantly.

“Our team is working hard to make this a great experience for both our hiring managers and candidates,” said Sherri Dickerson, Metro Executive Vice President and Chief People Officer.

Candidates who are interested should complete the following steps: 

- Visit wmata.com/careers and click on “job openings” in the side navigation under careers or scroll down to click on “view all jobs”

- Click on positions that align with your professional experience and the stated qualifications (invitations will not be extended to those who DO NOT meet minimum qualifications)

- Once submitted, a recruitment officer will evaluate your qualifications

- If qualifications are confirmed, an invitation will be extended detailing the date and time of your interview 

For those unable to attend the date and time of the interview, no additional opportunities will be provided outside of this hiring event unless a candidate is not identified during this accelerated period. 

Due to expected volume, those who do not meet qualifications will not be contacted.
