Jobs and Volunteering

Be part of our team

Dakota County is looking for the best and the brightest to join our team and take on the challenging and rewarding work of public service. The work we do is unique — we protect public health, keep our communities safe, ensure our vulnerable residents are cared for, help residents get back on their feet; protect our natural resources, get veterans the help they deserve, make sure traffic flows efficiently, inspire children to read and so much more. Grow your career at Dakota County where you can truly "Be More."

Because we're grateful for the workforce we have, we offer a lot in return —a comprehensive benefits package, work-life balance, free parking and convenient work locations.
