The Town of Reading is hiring snowplow drivers for the upcoming 2026-2027 winter season. Residents interested in applying can submit a driver application on the town’s website.
How to apply
Applications must be submitted by Monday, November 16, 2026, at 5:00 pm. Applicants can email their completed application to Michael O’Halloran, or drop it off in person at one of two locations:
Public Works office at Town Hall (16 Lowell Street), open Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm and Tuesday from 7:30 am to 7:00 pm
Department of Public Works Dispatch Office (75 Newcrossing Road), open Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 2:30 pm
What drivers should know
All drivers must have prior experience plowing on city or town streets. Hauling contracts will be bid separately later. Questions about the application can be directed to the DPW Administration Office at 781-942-9077.
A volunteer option: Snow Patrol
Residents looking to help with snow removal in a different capacity can also sign up for Reading Snow Patrol, a free, volunteer-based program launched by Reading Recreation and Elder and Human Services that connects volunteers with neighbors, including some age 60 and older, who need help clearing snow from their steps, walkways, and driveways. Volunteers must be 18 or older, and residents can sign up on the Reading Recreation website.
