The New York City Department of Sanitation has begun hiring emergency snow shovelers for the 2025-2026 winter season<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Shovelers are per-diem workers tasked with removing snow and ice from crosswalks, bus stops, fire hydrants and step streets in the wake of a heavy snowfall event.<\/p>\n

Those recruited start with an hourly pay of $19.14. After 40 hours are worked in a week, that pay jumps up to $28.71 per hour.<\/p>\n

In order to apply for a snow shoveler position, you must be at least 18 years of age, be eligible to work in the U.S., and be capable of performing heavy physical labor.<\/p>\n

Applicants must bring two small photos (1\u00bd square), original and copy of two forms of identification and their Social Security card at the time of registration.<\/p>\n

Those looking to be recruited should register for an application appointment. Registration appointments will take place at Department of Sanitation garages.<\/p>\n

To schedule an appointment, visit nyc.gov, and click on the \u201cCareers\u201d menu<\/a>. From there, select the \u201cCivilians\u201d tab; the information on emergency snow shovelers will appear on the left-hand side of the page.<\/p>\n
