If you have ever flown out of JFK, biked across the George Washington Bridge, or captured that perfect picture of the World Trade Center, then you have witnessed just some of what the Port Authority of NY & NJ does.
For over 100 years, the Port Authority has been designing, engineering, and operating the transportation infrastructure that moves people and goods to, from, and throughout one of the most economically competitive and culturally vibrant regions in the world. Whether we’re fortifying the tunnels under the Hudson River to withstand future super storms, or raising a bridge so larger cargo vessels can reach the premier port on the East Coast, our nearly 7,000 employees are committed to the work they do – work that moves millions of people and supports billions of dollars in economic activity each year.
Our need for skilled, forward-thinking individuals, who are truly passionate about serving the public, continues to grow. And we’re not talking just about engineering, transportation, and urban planning professionals. We are always looking for professionals in Audit, Business Administration, Communications, Construction, Environmental Planning, Finance, IT, Media, Operations & Maintenance, Public Safety, and Security, to name just a few. We are also looking for those driven to diversify their skills. As a member of our team, you will have the opportunity to explore any number of career paths, so just because you start in one field doesn’t mean you have to stay in it.
