Sean Markley started working for the El Paso County Department of Public Works in February 2021 as a Seasonal General Maintenance Worker supporting the Highway Department and helping keep our roads safe and clean. When the seasonal position ended, he transitioned to the Entry Level program. The program, now called General Maintenance I, prepares employees to get their Commercial Driver's License (CDL) Class B and gives them the opportunity to work on different crews, including Asphalt, General Maintenance, Truck String, and Drainage. He moved through the program with nothing but praise from his coworkers and trainers. After successfully completing the program and obtaining his Commercial Driver's License, he was assigned to the Asphalt crew, where he filled potholes and sealed cracks in the roads.

Upon hearing that a training coordinator position was available, he applied and was hired. Sean is a great addition to the training program. He approaches every day with a positive attitude and never complains. Keeping our roads safe is one of his favorite aspects of working for El Paso County, as well as the career advancement opportunities, benefits, and schedule flexibility the county offers.
