(Des Moines, IA) — Forecasters say high temperatures should be back in the 80’s and 90’s for the rest of week, but soon enough we’ll have to start thinking about winter coats, shovels, and snowmelt. Craig Bargfrede, winter operations manager for the Iowa DOT, says he’s thinking ahead, too, and is already starting to fill hundreds of seasonal winter positions. They include driving snowplows, filling trucks, making brine, and all other tasks associated with winter operations. Find DOT jobs in your area by visiting iowadot.gov and clicking on the “Careers” tab. The agency maintains 101 garages across the state.
