"As its Chief Administrative Officer, I'm in charge of overseeing those efforts to place smart, qualified people in the right jobs to keep millions of New Yorkers moving from Montauk to Poughkeepsie and everywhere in between. It takes a village. The MTA workforce is 74,000-strong roughly the same as the population of Schenectady making us one of the largest employers in all of New York State."
"Using agency staff instead of third-party contractors helps us to enhance accountability, efficiency and cost-containment, and you can see examples of that success all over the system. Those platform barriers now keeping riders safe in 100 subway stations? They were built by the Maintenance of Way division at New York City Transit. The thousands of security cameras that have been installed in stations and train cars? Done by MTA technicians."
"Even development of the new MTA app was an in-house IT operation, a project that most definitely would have been outsourced in the past. Real New Yorkers are the force behind these upgrades, and we're always looking for more talent to join our team. There are two ways to get an MTA job by taking one of the civil service exams, scoring well and getting a placement, or by applying for a management or administrative position on our website."
"We're also focused on building relationships with schools and universities to create a bridge between the classroom and the workforce. MTA's partnership with the CUNY system places hundreds of students at undergraduate and graduate levels into paid internships every year."
The MTA is hiring to fill jobs that keep New York transit running across bus and rail. The workforce includes 74,000 employees and spans many fields beyond operations, including engineering, design, finance, law, IT, and environmental science. Hiring and staffing enable more work to be done in-house rather than through agency or third-party contractors, improving accountability, efficiency, and cost containment. Examples include platform barriers built by the Maintenance of Way division, security cameras installed by MTA technicians, and development of the MTA app handled by internal IT. Jobs can be obtained through civil service exams or by applying for management and administrative roles online. Partnerships with CUNY provide hundreds of paid internships for students each year.
