NEW UPDATE TO APPLICATION PROCESS:
As of September 10, 2014, the Tollway began using an
on-line application system to assist prospective and current employees in the
job application process. This system will allow users to create an individual
account create and maintain a profile of education, experience and
certifications, identify job interest categories, search for open
positions, and submit job applications. This system will automatically notify
users of recently posted jobs based on the job interest categories chosen.
For the employee to be notified of open positions and
submit applications, this system requires the user to have an email account.
This could be either a personal account (i.e. gmail, yahoo) or getipass.com
account.
To apply for a posted position or to create a “Job
Interest Card,” applicants should visit the Tollway’s website, www.illinoistollway.com.

dropped off in person at the agency’s Downers Grove headquarters between the
hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. All applications must
