"I have worked for the California Department of Transportation since April of 2018. I have worked in two different units, and both units were great to worth with. The employees were helpful and taught me how they work with engineering in their field. I have worked in Encroachment Permits and then for Traffic Operations. I was able to see the difference in work for each unit. It was easy to get along with and loved to catch up with employees as I would see them."
