Everyday at The Montana Department of Justice, our employees are dedicated to ensuring the well-being and rights of the people of our great state. We’re passionate about what we do because it’s more than a job or a career. It’s about who we are as people.

If this sounds like you, your unique experiences, knowledge, and values may be just what the Montana Department of Justice is looking for and needs. In return we can offer a rewarding career, with great benefits, among professional colleagues, and in a culture that promotes fairness and growth opportunities.

This website is your portal into employment opportunities within our agency. Our work is diverse: We are Montana Highway Patrol troopers and forensic scientists at the Montana State Crime lab. We are undercover narcotics agents and the attorneys who defend the Montana Constitution. We are computer programmers, prosecutors and the people who license every Montana driver and register every Montana vehicle. We defend Montana consumers, investigate scams targeting our citizens and so much more.

The Montana Department of Justice provides equal employment opportunities to applicants and employees without regard or race, color, national origin, age, physical or mental disability, marital status, religion, creed, sex, sexual orientation, or political beliefs.

The Montana Department of Justice will take affirmative action (AA) to equalize employment opportunities at all levels of Department operations where there is evidence that there have been barriers to employment for those classes of people who have traditionally been denied equal employment opportunity. Read our Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Plan.

It is the policy of the Montana Department of Justice to provide preference in employment to veterans, disabled veterans, and eligible relatives.
