The NCSHP has more than 1,600 troopers who cover nearly 80,000 miles of North Carolina roadways, more than any other state except Texas. In addition to enforcing the state's traffic laws, state troopers also guide traffic during hurricane evacuations, re‑route traffic around hazardous chemical spills, and they stand ready should any act of terrorism occur.

State Troopers are committed to protecting North Carolina's motoring public.

This position involves constructing, relocating, maintaining, and repairing secondary underground electric distribution lines and systems to support VIPER sites statewide.
