You can apply for all job vacancies listed under the heading "Positions Open to 55-b/55-c Candidates" for which you meet the minimum qualifications.

Permanent DEC employees assigned to Environmental Facilities Corporation are eligible for lateral transfer and promotional appointment to vacancies that occur in all divisions and regions./

Positions requiring a CDL (commercial driver's license) are subject to the Federal Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act (OTETA) of 1991 which requires that employees be tested for alcohol and/or drug use. Candidates who receive an offer of employment will be tested on a pre-employment basis prior to starting the job.

If you have any comments, suggestions or questions about this page, send them to the Posting Responses email box.

Important Additional Information

Most DEC positions are filled by eligible lists resulting from examination in accordance with Civil Service Law. The position(s) that are listed as Open to Candidates That Meet the Minimum Qualifications are for job vacancies where no viable eligible list exists or use of an eligible list is not required by law.

To find out about the civil service process and how to get on an eligible list for positions at DEC, review the information on Civil Service Basics and DEC Examination Announcements.

Section 55-b and 55-c of Civil Service Law permits the appointment of certain disabled individuals to positions that are filled by open-competitive examination where the examination is waived for the individual. The individual must meet the open competitive minimum qualifications and be able to perform the essential duties of the position. Complete information on the Workers With Disabilities Program (leaves DEC website) is available from the Department of Civil Service.

Some seasonal positions are advertised through the StateJobsNY website. There is a vacancy section for members of the general public seeking state employment and lists of those jobs for which an examination is not necessary. Find more information on the seasonal employment webpage.

The Department of Environmental Conservation is committed to reducing its environmental footprint and we encourage all staff to be part of the Department's culture of sustainability.
