Applied online through Calcareers.ca.gov. The time to get a response was about 3 months. I applied to several locations for the same job, i.e. Transportation Engineer (Civil). An email was sent to me saying that Caltrans would be hosting a Mass Hiring Event in Marysville, CA. I attended the event and was interviewed by 4 people, who asked general/basic questions as the job was entry level. I received a conditional offer the following week and started working a month after that.

I follow Caltrans safety protocols, including site-specific safety plans and traffic control standards outlined in the MUTCD. I coordinate with local agencies for encroachment permits and public notifications. I also ensure contractor compliance with Caltrans construction standards and verify QA/QC during inspections.
