Instructions for Filing an Application for Los Angeles County Department of Public Works Employment

Please note that electronic filing of employment applications via the Internet is not available. Application should be submitted ONLY at the Department of Public Works, 900 South Fremont Avenue, Ninth Floor, Alhambra. Office hours are 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday ONLY. Our office is closed on Fridays.

Bulletins can be obtained from the Personnel Services counter on the ninth floor. Bulletins are also posted on the bulletin board in the lobby at the above address.

Please carefully read the instructions listed below before filing an application:

Applications are accepted for County examinations only when a bulletin is posted which announces that the examination is open and applications are being accepted.
Applicants must submit applications specifically how and/or where the bulletin states the application should be filed. For instance, in many cases, applications must be submitted directly to the personnel office or other designated location of the department which is giving the examination. In other cases, the bulletin information may state that the application must be filed in person. Follow these filing instructions explicitly, as the application could be delayed or disqualified.
Examinations usually have deadline dates by which application must be submitted. This means that the application must be received in the designated location by the closing date, otherwise the application will be rejected as late. A postmark by the closing date is not sufficient.
An applicant should file an application as soon as possible. This is due to the fact that some examinations only remain open "until the needs of the service are met." Therefore, when a department determines enough applications have been received, the examination may be closed immediately at the end of that business day.
Applicants must carefully read all instructions on the bulletin and on the information sheet attached to the application form. Additional information may be required, including proof of degrees or licenses required for the position.
Any false statements of material facts or omissions may subject the applicant to disqualification or dismissal.
