Job Opportunities with The County


County of Los Angeles just posted the bulletins for Student Worker and Student Professional Worker again this year.  Attached at the bottom of this email, please find two bulletins for the positions. 

·         Student Professional Worker I (OC) C-8243-E  The filing dates will be from Tuesday, 04/10/12 through Wednesday, 04/25/12.
·         Student Worker (OC) C-8242-M    The filing dates will be from Tuesday, 04/10/12 through Wednesday, 04/25/12.

The window period is very short so let the students be aware of the deadline.  The information is pretty much the same as what I sent you last year.  This year, the position we are looking for is not for summer hire but starting the next school year, i.e. Sept. 2012.

The positions are for LA County Public Works Dept. in various Divisions/placements.  When the student applies for the position, they should identify their interest in landscape architecture so we can spot them when we go through the applications. 

I am the Unit Head in the Landscape Architectural Unit/Architectural Engineering Division at Public Works Dept. Our landscape group works on various types of projects, e.g. landscaping of watershed/river projects, road right-of-way/streetscape projects, capital project (parks, beaches and harbors, etc.).  There are a total of 6 of us in the Landscape Unit, four licensed landscape architects and two assistant level landscape staff.  It will be preferable the candidate has CAD (AutoCAD) skill.

Please email me back to let me know you received this email.  Also let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.
