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.

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!
