LTED Underage Operative - Temporary

Underage Operative Position

The hourly pay rate for this position has been updated to $23.50 per hour. This pay rate applies only to Underage Operative positions within the Liquor & Tobacco Enforcement Division.

The mission of the Colorado Department of Revenue (CDOR) is to become a trusted partner to every Coloradan to help them navigate the complexities of government so they can thrive. We are driven by our values of service, teamwork, accountability, integrity, and respect.

The vision of the department is to empower businesses and individuals through quality customer service, innovation, and collaboration. We celebrate diversity and support an equitable and inclusive culture. We embrace our differences because we believe this brings innovation to our work.

The Colorado Department of Revenue Liquor and Tobacco Enforcement Division is looking to hire individuals to work as Underage Operatives. Underage Operatives are individuals who are between the ages of 16 years old & 20 years old and are hired through the State to attempt to purchase tobacco and alcohol beverage products from licensed establishments.

These underage compliance checks aim to prevent sales of tobacco and alcohol beverages to those under 21 years of age.

If you are interested, you will work directly with two Liquor/Tobacco Investigators. The investigators will equip you with a body mic that records and transmits to the Investigators, allowing them to listen live as your attempt to purchase occurs.

You will work in an undercover capacity and be required to be available to testify in criminal court and administrative hearings when necessary.

The work is anything but consistent; we are looking for candidates that can be flexible with their work schedule. The investigator will schedule checks, on average, a couple of times a month throughout the state of Colorado. An example would be that you might only work 5 or 6 times a year, but it could be more depending on your level of engagement and availability!
