I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Caltrans (Oakland, CA)
Interview
straightforward scripted questions. they wanted to know how much experience I had with environmental science in various aspects. there are teams dedicated to biology, project delivery, cultural resources, hydrology, etc. It was not a hard interview. there was only 1 round to it, and I think that because it was a mass hiring event that it took them a bit longer to get back to me
