Job Description:

The DMV is seeking a person to assist with making all forms PDFs and Word/Excel documents on the DMV website ADA-compliant. A project manager and two administrative assistants are currently undertaking this project which is bigger than the DMV envisioned with over 800 forms on the website that need to be converted. The DMV is hoping to make the April 26 2027 federal deadline to ensure that all forms on the website are ADA compliant. The DMV needs a person that has experience in converting website forms into ADA-compliant versions and to also help train DMV staff to be able to do this when the contractors contract ends. The DMV is looking for a person that can start working on these forms on day one so that all of them will be finished by April 26. The DMV is hoping to get an experienced person who has done this before works fast and can train others on this important task.

The DMV has hired a contractor to revamp the DMV website making it ADA-compliant as well and the hope is that this person can work together with her and the team that is working on getting the website and forms ADA compliant. Someone that can work well with others become the DMVs subject matter expert on ADA forms and pass along their knowledge to others who will carry the program forward is desired. Ideally someone who has done this at another state agency would be preferred. However anyone that can take the DMVs current forms and convert them into ADA-compliant ones that the public can easily embrace would be excellent and fulfill the role the DMV envisions.
