The Department of Administrative Services (DAS) Construction Services (CS) is the state’s primary department for State Building Construction Projects (otherwise known as "Capital Building Construction Projects") requested by Connecticut Executive and Judicial Branch State Agencies. 

The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) has several programs that work to ensure the proper management – handling, use, and disposal – of materials including pesticides, mercury, PCBs, and petroleum products. Through several different mechanisms – outreach and education, product handling efforts and phase outs, training, and regulatory activity – the Department is working to develop better stewardship of these materials to protect environmental quality and public safety. 

The Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection (DESPP) protects and improves the quality of life for all by providing a broad range of public safety services, training, regulatory guidance and scientific services utilizing enforcement, prevention, education and state of the art science and technology.

The Division of Scientific Services (DSS) within DESPP, provides forensic support to local, state and federal agencies throughout Connecticut.  This division is divided into three analytical Sections. They are the Chemical Analysis Section (including toxicology, controlled substances, and arson), the Forensic Biology/DNA Section, and the Identification Section (including computer crimes). The laboratory also has two non-analytical Sections.  They are the Quality Section and Laboratory Support Services (including Administration, Evidence Receiving, and Case Management). 

The Department of Transportation (DOT) provides opportunities for engineer trainees to receive training in introductory engineering work while also leading to opportunities to progress into more experienced engineering positions such as our Transportation Engineer 1, 2, 3 and more.  Higher-level engineering titles will perform more complex engineering construction and maintenance tasks. 

The Department of Public Health’s Public Health Systems Improvement (PHSI) is responsible for managing, coordinating and supporting organization-wide and multi-sector activities that result in measurable improvements of public health structures, systems and outcomes. Federal funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provided a five-year Cooperative Agreement to help state public health agencies initiate a culture of quality and improve efficiency and effectiveness of public health programs and services, while enhancing readiness for national public health accreditation. 

The Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) is statutorily charged with ensuring that Connecticut's investor-owned utilities, including the state’s electric, natural gas, water, and telecommunications companies, provide safe, clean, reliable, and affordable utility service and infrastructure. PURA’s mission is essential to advancing the state’s energy, economic, and environmental goals and is critical to maintaining public health and safety as well as a robust economy.

PURA is a quasi-judicial agency that interprets and applies the statutes and regulations governing all aspects of Connecticut’s utility sector. Among other things, PURA sets the rates charged by investor-owned utilities, advances the modernization of the electric distribution system, regulates the retail electric supplier market, implements federal requirements for natural gas pipeline safety, ensures adequate water system infrastructure investments, reviews mergers and acquisitions, provides education and outreach for consumers, and regulates the expansion of telecommunications infrastructure.
