NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Feb. 1, 2023) – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District is hiring engineers during a job fair Feb. 23, 2023, at the J. Percy Priest Lake Visitors Center.

Jobs that are being offered on the spot will provide an unprecedented opportunity to work on mega construction projects like the Kentucky Lock Addition Project and Chickamauga Lock Addition Project, along with other meaningful infrastructure projects.

Nashville District officials are looking for qualified civil engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, construction managers and geologists during the hiring event.
