It's a sign that winter is just around the corner: The Road Commission for Oakland County is looking to hire part-time snow plow drivers for the season.
The positions pay up to $20 an hour.
Drivers may be scheduled to work up to three days per week and will be on call throughout the winter for day, night and weekend work as needed. In addition to salting and plowing, employees will also do non-snow removal work. Anyone interested must have a commercial driver's license with an "A" endorsement. You can apply online HERE.

Officials say every attempt is made to establish consistent work schedules.
“Come be part of the team that has made Oakland County’s roads among the safest in the world,” RCOC Managing Director Dennis Kolar said. “These positions have also become a good steppingstone to permanent positions at the Road Commission as full-time employees retire. It is also a great opportunity for retirees to return to work on a part time basis and pick up some supplemental income,” he added.
Paid training and introductory orientation will be provided.
Those selected for hire will be required to pass a pre-employment driving-skill assessment, background check and a post-offer physical exam including a drug screening. Driving histories will be reviewed.
