Agency representatives from various departments, including human resources, will be on hand to discuss full-time and part-time positions, benefits, and the DRBA’s workplace culture.

“The partnership between the Route 9 library and the Delaware River and Bay Authority reflects our shared commitment to uplifting the community through meaningful access, opportunity and connection,” said Sherita Copeland, senior HR specialist for the DRBA.

Available positions include full-time roles such as police officers (certified and non-certified), maintenance journeymen in plumbing, electrical, and HVAC, as well as dispatchers and custodial supervisors. Part-time and casual openings include maintenance technicians and airport operations aides.

The Route 9 Library will offer free computer access so applicants can complete online applications on-site during the event.

“Together, we’re not only enhancing recruitment efforts-we’re helping local residents envision new career pathways and build brighter futures,” Copeland said.
