Applicants who lack six months or less of the required experience may file for this examination. However, they cannot be appointed until the full experience requirement is met. To be at the level of an Engineering Associate III requires a Professional Engineer license and experience as a supervisor or lead engineer involved in professional engineering work that is technically complex. A valid California driver’s license is required prior to appointment. Applicants will be disqualified and not eligible for hire if their record within the last 36 months reflects three or more moving violations and/or at-fault accidents, or a conviction of a major moving violation (such as DUI). For qualifying work experience gained outside of the City of Los Angeles, the term “professional experience” applies to positions that require possession of a degree from an accredited four-year college or university or obtaining an Engineer in Training (EIT) certificate. Therefore, to be considered “professional”, non-City qualifying experience must be gained in positions after obtaining a four-year degree or EIT. Please note that qualifying education must be from a college or university accredited by a City of Los Angeles recognized agency. A list of approved accrediting agencies can be found at https://per.lacity.org/Accredited%20Institutions%2008-21-08.pdf Candidates completing the exam process may be contacted by the Personnel Department to provide required proof of degree.
