Caltrans is looking to fill dozens of vacancies regionally, including jobs for civil engineers, surveyors, administrators, planners and equipment operators. As a result, Caltrans is sponsoring a North Region Career Fair from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on April 6 at the Caltrans District 3 office, 703 B Street in Marysville. Community members are invited to visit information booths featuring Caltrans programs such as engineering, surveys, planning and maintenance, as well as obtain tips about the state hiring process and receive career counseling. At the same time, current Caltrans employees will have the opportunity to discover new opportunities and information about career advancement.
