Spend an hour with our engineers to learn more about the projects they're working on with Q&A at the end.
About this event
Are you currently studying civil, environmental, or chemical engineering? Or do you plan to? If so, these events are meant for you! We're inviting college and high school students to join us online for our Tech Talks, where we'll share details of our specific projects and the roles dynamic LASAN environmental engineers play. At the end of each presentation, there will be time for Q&A, followed by brief information about our recruitment activities. You're welcome to join any or all of the events online. It is recommended that you log in from a computer rather than a phone so that you're able to see the details of the presentations. This is a FREE series; there is no charge to attend.
If you plan to someday seek full-time or part-time employment with LA Sanitation & Environment, you won't want to miss these informative events!

Countering Climate Change: A Deeper Look into Protecting our Watersheds
Many of our Environmental Engineers are at the helm of ensuring that all new development in LA captures, treats, and reuses rainfall through best available control technology. Whether someone is building a new skyscraper or adding a second story to their home, engineers walk them through low impact measures that ultimately keep our river, lakes, and beaches clean for residents and tourists to enjoy.
